A 50-year-old Sheffield Lake man found an unwanted surprise in his bed when he woke up Saturday morning —
an unknown and intoxicated man had crawled into bed with him.
Buck Walls, 29, was arrested and charged with burglary after apparently being so intoxicated he walked into the wrong house and crawled into the wrong bed at 3:48 a.m.
The victim told police the suspect was very uncooperative when asked to leave and would not explain his actions, but he finally managed to convince the suspect to leave his home. When police arrived, they found Walls in the front yard and the resident unharmed.
"It's very rare, but I have heard of people going into the wrong house when they are highly intoxicated," Capt. Tony Campo said. "But not people crawling into the (wrong) bed."
The suspect did not take anything from the home and did not have any weapons.
"I don't know if the resident owns any guns, but if he did, he did not use them here," Campo said. "That is very dangerous ... this could have ended a lot worse."
