Man finds intruder napping in his bed       Send a link to a friend

[October 11, 2007]  ELKTON, Md. (AP) -- Maybe this intruder should have had a good night's sleep. Police say a man returned to his apartment last week to find an intruder napping in his bed. The accused burglar, Mark William, didn't wake up until police placed handcuffs on him while he was snoozing.

Police say the victim came home at 8 a.m. on Oct. 2 to find William asleep in his bed. He called police.

Authorities say William, who goes by the nickname "Weasel," jammed a chair to the back entrance of the apartment before bedding down. He was charged with burglary, theft and malicious destruction of property. William also faces drug charges after police found a small package of suspected crack cocaine in his pocket.

He's being held in the Cecil County Jail on $15,000 bond.
