A man suspected of burglarizing a home was arrested after police found him asleep in the basement. Iam D. Wright was lying on the floor early Thursday next to a black bag filled with items that belonged to the homeowners, including stereo equipment, a backpack and a wallet, police said.
One of the residents had flagged down nearby officers after discovering a man in their basement.
Wright's eyes were closed and he did not respond to police until he was threatened with a Taser.
He allegedly told police he was drunk and had passed out after a party at the home, but the homeowners said they hadn't hosted a party.
Wright is charged with felony theft and burglary and remains jailed on $2,500 bail.
Police found other items on Wright that didn't belong to the couple, and say he may be responsible for other burglaries and thefts in the area.
Mankind has created spectacular works of art, engineered incredibly tall buildings, designed impressive supercomputers, lived in outerspace, discovered cures for nasty diseases. As a whole, nothing can compare to human intelligence, but sometimes, humans should pick their nap places better, and not rob the home first.
