SALT LAKE CITY, June 17 (UPI) -- Salt Lake City police arrested an alleged burglar investigators say broke into an office only to fall asleep on the job.

Investigators said police were called to the Sherwood Forrest Building by a security guard who noticed a broken window and the officers found a 33-year-old man inside the MGIS Co. office sleeping on a desk, the Salt Lake Tribune reported Tuesday.

The desk drawers were open and the former contents were on the floor, police said. They said $7 in cash and three sets of keys found on the man were taken from the office.

The suspect was charged with third-degree felony counts of burglary and criminal mischief and one count of misdemeanor theft.
