Sheriff: NC man hid under home as ex-wife slept
[November 05, 2010] EDEN, N.C. (AP) -- Breaking up seems hard to do for a Rockingham County man.

The sheriff's department said Allen Turner faces a breaking and entering charge after deputies found him in a crawl space under his former mother-in-law's house. Authorities said Turner's ex-wife was staying at the house, and he tried to awaken her Thursday morning by throwing acorns at a glass. A sheriff's deputy said Jessica Turner then got a text message saying Allen Turner left his car in the driveway because he ran out of gas. She discovered he'd actually entered the house through an unlocked window. Allen Turner then called his ex-wife and said he got a ride and left, but deputies searched and found him under the house. Allen Turner was jailed under $1,500 bond. It wasn't clear whether he had an attorney. |
