Perhaps you can picture the pre-dawn scene Tuesday in a Ferndale living room. (Hey, we don't judge . . . and won't say if we visualize it easily.)
The Oakland Press recreates the evocative tableau when an apartment renter "awoke to find a strange man sleeping on his couch."
The man told police he got up about 5:30 a.m. and found the suspect’s clothes strewn about his bathroom.
“He then went into the living room to find the suspect sleeping on the couch,” said Ferndale Police Lt. William Wilson. “He woke up a female house guest who was in another room, but she didn’t know who the strange man was either.”
When the puzzled pair couldn't rouse Mystery Man, who entered through an unlocked door, they called pros.
Police arrived, woke the suspect and arrested him.
A Breathlayzer showed that [Anthony] Jagger had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20, more than double the state limit for drunken driving.
The 24-year-old Ferndale man was sprung on $1,500 bond after arraignment on a trespassing charge.
Handcuffs and a hangover are always a bad combo -- or so we imagine, that is.
