LOWER PAXTON TOWNSHIP, Pa.–A family living in Lower Paxton Township got a rude awakening early Friday morning after a drunk man broke into their home and proceeded to pass out on the floor.
Garrett C. Black, 21, of Lower Paxon Township, is charged with criminal trespass, loitering and prowling, public drunkenness and criminal mischief. He was arraigned and released on $5,000 bail.
Police were called to a home along the 4400 block of Dunmore Drive around 12:30 a.m. for a reported break-in.
The family told police they were awoken after hearing loud noises coming from the roof. They fled the residence and called for help after seeing an unexpected guest in their home.
