law roundup

A resident on Three Mile Drive was startled to find how comfortably a stranger was ensconced in his house Sunday evening. The man returned home to find someone had been drinking his beer and eating his food. The house appeared to have been gone through and the resident's firearms had been laid out. The intruder was found inside a car in the man's garage. The resident asked the stranger to leave and he refused at first. What worked for Goldilocks didn't succeed for the interloper; he was charged with burglary.
