Police: Drunk man slept at wrong house

ST. MARTIN, Miss., Dec. 9 (UPI) -- A Mississippi couple discovered a drunken man they had never met sleeping on their couch and snuggling with a teddy bear, authorities said.

Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd said the St. Martin couple woke the man up after discovering him Saturday night and demanded to know why he was in their home, The Mississippi Press, Pascagoula, reported Wednesday.

"The homeowners asked him who he was and what he was doing in their house," Byrd said. "They said he was clearly intoxicated and spaced out."

The man, later identified as Christopher Paul Silga, 34, drove off in a dark blue Chevrolet Silverado and deputies attempted to pull him over, Byrd said.

"He was weaving and jerking the steering wheel to his vehicle," Byrd said.

He said Silga drove through a row of mailboxes before bringing his vehicle to a stop.

The sheriff said Silga told deputies he had thought the couple's house was his girlfriend's.

"It appears he just walked in the front door of the house," Byrd said. "He thought he was at his girlfriend's house in Gautier."

Silga was charged with trespassing and driving under the influence. He was released after posting $1,000 bail.

Women to row Atlantic naked

BRISTOL, England, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Two British women attempting a world record by rowing across the Atlantic say they hope to shave a few days off the trip by completing the feat naked.

Mel King, 37 and Annie Januszewski, 40, of Bristol, England, said they are hoping to row 3,000 miles from Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua in the West Indies in only 70 days, to beat the previous 75-day record for a two-woman team, The Sun reported Wednesday.

The women, who planned to start the voyage Wednesday if the weather is favorable, said they originally planned to row for 15 hours a day in their bras and underwear, but decided to strip down completely to reduce chaffing from friction with clothing.

"I've just turned 40 but I'd like to get it straight that I'm not going through a midlife crisis," Januszewski said. "Hopefully, being nude will allow us to shave days off our time."
