Police Find Alleged Home Burglar Asleep
A man suspected of burglarizing a home in Missoula, Montana, was busted after police there discovered him asleep in the basement. The man, identified as Iam D. Wright, was lying on the floor early April 26 next to a black bag filled with stuff that was taken from the homeowners, including stereo equipment, a backpack, and a wallet, according to police.
One of the residents had flagged down nearby officers after spotting a man in their basement.
Wright’s eyes were closed and he did not respond to police until they threatened him with a Taser.
Police say that he told them that he was drunk and had passed out after a party at the home, but the homeowners gave the lie to that, saying that they did not host a party.
Wright is charged with felony theft and burglary and, as of this writing, is being held on $2,500 bail.
Police found other items on Wright’s person that did not belong to the couple, and say that he may be responsible for a rash of other thefts and burglaries in the area.
