Drunk US house breaker calls the police for help


A man who broke into a house, got drunk and could not get out again called police for help, officers say.

Police in Delaware state then arrested the man, who had drunk five bottles of spirits while staying in the unoccupied home for several days.

He was too drunk to climb back out of the window he had got in through, Associated Press news agency reports.

The 44-year-old was also unable to leave through the doors as they were locked and he didn't have the keys.

Police say the man had broken into the house in Wilmington before, in April 2010, and that the homeowner had changed the locks since then, so that a key was required even from the inside.

The man faces charges in relation to both break-ins, but has yet to make a court appearance.

Have to sober him up first

Athens, Georgia: Demetrius Robinson, 28, wanted to rob a Golden Pantry store late one night, but he needed to pass the time as naturally as possible until he and the clerk were alone, so he decided to fill out a job application.

Not a bad idea, except he left his real name on the application, along with his uncle's phone number.
After he robbed the store, it didn't take long for police to track him down.

He didn't get the job.
