Wauwatosa woman comes home to find drunk stranger in her bed (a la Goldilocks)

Posted on April 26, 2011

Like the tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," a Wauwatosa resident was forced to ask "who is that sleeping in my bed?" last week. But unlike the sweet children's story of a lost little blond girl, this story appears to feature a drunken man who broke into a home.

According to the Wauwatosa police report:

When the resident entered her home in the 7300 block of West Garfield Avenue at 7:45 p.m. April 19, she smelled marijuana. Then she noticed socks, shoes and a coat on the floor.

Getting scared, she checked out her bedroom, where she found a man fast asleep in her bed. She ran to a neighbor's house for help. They called police, but while waiting for officers, the neighbor woke up the intoxicated visitor and told him to leave.

He asked the neighbor if he could use the bathroom before he left. He was turned down so he urinated on the lawn before walking down the street.

The 51-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested for trespassing. He said he remembered drinking and taking a bus to Tosa because he was restless, but he didn't recall entering the apartment or know why he was there. He had a nearly empty bottle of gin and a full bottle of rum with him.

Who’s been sleeping in my bed? A naked, strange man

Posted on May 26, 2010

You come home after a night out with your girlfriend. She drops you off late, around 5 a.m. You walk in your home and find water dripping down from the kitchen ceiling. You go upstairs and see the bathroom sink is backed up, water running and overflowing onto the floor and through the ceiling downstairs. You turn off the faucet, go to your bedroom and find a strange man sleeping there -- covered with blankets but naked.

It turns out River Falls police had just spent hours looking for this same guy. It was after midnight Saturday, and they had been summoned to 3534 Sterling Heights Drive. A 25-year-old Richland Center man, visiting friends, had disappeared. He was intoxicated and wearing only boxers.
