Princeton Homeowner Finds Strange Man Sleeping On Couch: Police

PRINCETON, NJ — A homeowner on Heather Lane was surprised to find someone sleeping on the couch of their home early Tuesday morning.

The surprise was due the fact they didn’t know someone was sleeping there. Also, they had never seen the person before in their life.

Princeton Police were called to the scene at about 6:19 a.m. Once there, they say they found 25-year-old Saul Lopez-Gomez sleeping on the couch.

The homeowner said they had never seen Lopez-Gomez, who is listed as a resident of Hillside Avenue in Princeton, before. They suspect he may have entered the house through an unsecured door.

Police said there was no reason to believe anything was stolen, and that Lopez-Gomez appeared to be intoxicated.

Lopez-Gomez was placed under arrest and transported to headquarters, where he was charged with criminal trespass and given a pending court date.
