Burglar steals ZZZs on stranger's couch

PIERSON, Fla., Oct. 16 (UPI) -- A bleary-eyed burglar took a quick catnap on a stranger's couch, stumbling into a Florida couple's home after stumbling out of a bar, police said.

The couple found the nearly nude man on their couch sleeping in his briefs and he was in jail Tuesday for his nap-stealing, Tampa, Fla., television station WFTV reported.

"(It's) something I'll probably laugh about in about a week," said Jeremy Hinson, who found Hugo Acosta snoozing on the sofa in the living room of his Pierson, Fla., home.

When he first saw someone slumbering, Hinson thought it was his girlfriend, but realized she was in bed.

"I came back in here and looked, saw it was a stranger. By that time ... the fear set in," he said.

The couple came back out together with a gun and found Acosta passed out.

Police said after a night of drinking at a neighboring bar, Acosta broke into the home, strew his clothes on the floor, grabbed some munchies from the fridge and found a sheet to use as a cover.
