Court rejects appeal of pantless intruder

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., March 21 (UPI) -- The Illinois Supreme Court rejected an appeal from a man sentenced to 20 years in prison after he was caught without pants in a strange house at night.

William Hudson, an Arizona truck driver, was convicted of home invasion in 2005.

Hudson said he had met a woman while passing through Quincy, Ill., and they decided to have sex but everything went wrong, the Springfield (Ill.) State Journal-Register reported Friday.

The woman helped him get his pants and boots off, then she stole his money and ran, Hudson said. He said he gave chase, pantless, into a nearby house where he came upon a 16-year-old girl who screamed.

Hudson said he never did get his money back.
