Drunken Wash. state man breaks into bank to sleep

[June 11, 2010]  ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) -- Police in Ellensburg, Wash., said a man looking for a place to sleep broke into the basement of a bank, and -- yes -- he had been drinking.

Surveillance video shows the man breaking a basement window about 3 a.m. Saturday and leaving before 8 a.m.

Police tracked down the 21-year-old by Tuesday and arrested him at his home for investigation of second-degree burglary and malicious mischief.

Capt. Dan Hansberry said the man was intoxicated and doesn't know why he went to the bank to snooze.
