Resident wakes to intruder in home

A resident who woke up with an intruder inside their apartment helped police track down a suspect.

Police were called to an apartment building on Meadowbrook Lane around 2:45 a.m. Wednesday for a break and enter. The resident told police they woke up to find the person inside their unit and when the man was confronted he quickly ran out of the residence.

The resident provided police with a detailed description and about 15 minutes later police found a person matching the description walking through a field in the area.

The person was arrested without incident. Police believed there was sufficient evidence to charge the 31-year-old with break and enter. The charge has not been proven in court.
