HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Two men were arrested on burglary charges after they allegedly broke into rapper 50 Cent's Farmington, Conn., mansion early Tuesday, police said.

The Hartford Courant reported Alexander Hernandez and Santos Padilla were arrested after a security guard called police to report a suspicious car in the recording artist's driveway.

Hernandez, who was released on a $50,000 non-surety bond, was turned over to police in New Britain where he is wanted on outstanding warrants. Police said they discovered him hiding in a closet, chugging a bottle of wine he snatched from the mansion.

Padilla, who was found elsewhere in the hip-hop star's home, was held on $50,000 bond, the newspaper said.
