OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma (Reuters) -- An Oklahoma couple were surprised when they woke up and found a drunk burglary suspect asleep in bed with them, police said on Thursday.
The couple from the south Oklahoma city of Ardmore called police, ran out of their house and watched officers arrest the man who was still sleeping in their bed despite the sirens and commotion, police said.
Dan Johnson, 24, was arrested on the scene in the incident that took place on Sunday and was charged with burglary.
Officer Chad Anthony said in his arrest report that it took quite an effort to rouse the suspect from a deep slumber.
"After about two to three minutes, Johnson stood up. I saw that he was very intoxicated," he wrote.
The report said Johnson was found with a cell phone belonging to one of the victims in his pocket and $4 in cash, also apparently stolen.
Johnson is suspected of kicking down a door at the residence and also trying to gain entry by using garden trimmers to pry open a door, the report said.
