Someone's Been Sleeping in Ron's Bed

Jersey City, New Jersey, January 22, 2008:

Maybe this intruder should have had a good night's sleep. Police say a man returned to his house last week to find an intruder napping in his bed. The accused burglar, Mark William, didn't wake up until police placed handcuffs on him while he was snoozing.

Police say the victim -- identified as local politico Ron -- came home at 7:30 a.m. after a bender to find William asleep in his bed. He drunk-dialed the police.

Authorities say William, who goes by the nickname "Weasel," jammed a chair to the back entrance of the house before bedding down. He was charged with burglary, theft, and malicious destruction of property. William also faces drug charges after police found a small package of suspected crack cocaine in his pocket.

He's being held in the Hudson County jail on $15,000 bond.
