Really Drunk WA Man Tased After Breaking Into Own Home: Cops

BELLEVUE, WA - Terrified, a man living in a Factoria-area apartment called 911 last week after an intruder began breaking his door down. Locked in a bathroom, the man told a dispatcher he was "very scared."

But it wasn't an intruder, it was just his remarkably drunk roommate home from a serious bender.

Police arrived at the apartment along the 12900 block of Southeast 44th Court on Dec. 28 just before 3 a.m. They could see a man standing inside the apartment using a metal rod to smash through a bedroom door.

Police demanded the door-smasher surrender, but he didn't comply. So police entered the apartment and hit him with a Taser. After things settled down, police figured out that the intruder actually lived in the apartment. He had apparently returned home earlier than the other roommate - the one who had to lock himself in the bathroom - suspected.

Police discovered the man had apparently drank a fifth of whisky and nearly an entire liter of vodka.

"The male could not initially recall who he was, where he was, or what day of the week it was. The male was transported to the hospital due to his condition," Bellevue police wrote of the incident.
