• Seattle police were called to a home for a reported burglary, KOMO-TV reported.
A young woman inside the home said someone was trying to break in with a stick.
Officers went into the home and found the victim hiding upstairs.
The suspect, who was identified only as a 40-year-old male, was discovered in the garage, in one of the homeowner's vehicles, where he was guzzling gasoline from a jerrycan.
He refused to leave the car, so police broke the driver's side window and took him out.
He was charged with attempted burglary. [KOMO, 8/24/2023]
