Man Found Sleeping In Apartment After Breaking In, Greenwich Police Say

GREENWICH, CT — A 35-year-old New York man was found sleeping in a Greenwich apartment over the weekend, and police say he admitted to breaking in "to seek shelter from the rain."

At approximately 8:30 a.m. on April 11, Greenwich police officers responded to an apartment in the Byram section of town on a report of an unknown man who was found sleeping on a couch "without permission," police said in an announcement.

"The resident attempted to stop the individual from leaving, but the suspect fled through a window toward Mill Street," police said. "Patrol officers located and detained a suspect nearby matching the given description of the subject provided by the resident."

The man was positively identified by the resident and he was arrested without incident, police said.

The arrestee was charged with second-degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, and given a $2,000 bond. He's scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on April 25.
