Burglar Arrested After He Falls Asleep On Couch In The Middle Of Heist and is Found Next Morning By Homeowner: Police house without permission, stealing the jewelry and falling asleep,Lady Lake police said.
A burglar was arrested after he fell asleep in the middle of a heist, and the homeowner discovered him sleeping on the couch, police said.
Domonique Pinkard, 21, was found early Sunday morning by the homeowner, Lady Lake Police said.
The woman told police that her back door had been kicked in and clothing, jewelry and electronic devices were stolen.
After police woke up Pinkard, they found the jewelry in his wallet, according to authorities.
Pinkard told police the jewelry belonged to his girlfriend, but the homeowner identified it as her jewelry, police said. She estimated the jewelry was worth $500.
After speaking to police, Pinkard admitted to being in the house without permission, stealing the jewelry and falling asleep, police said. But Pinkard was not alone, authorities said.
After an investigation, police found Julian Evangelist, 20, who worked with him and was also arrested on burglary charges, authorities said.
After locating Evangelist, police were able to find the stolen items. He confessed to having helped Pinkard, Lady Lake police said.
Both men are being held at Lake County Jail. Pinkard is being held on a $17,500 bond and Evangelist is being held on a $17,000 bond. It wasn't immediately known if they had attorneys.
You’d kill a sleeping person for $500?...Maybe not, but I WOULD kill him for being a thief. And a damn stupid one, at that.
Will we see this as a follow-up headline: Narcoleptic burglar wins disability appeal?
At the other end of the general default process, simple thefts might be threatening to the lives of some victims. Consider the possibility of elderly or disabled victims starving or freezing to death, after food or heating fuel (e.g., propane) is stolen from them. And burglary is always a threat against lives of residents.
/s back at ya.
Now how much fun would that be ?
I'd just wait until the perp woke up...have a nice breakfast waiting for him...jail food really sucks... while I have my weapon laser trained on his heart...
Make him call the police and he can explain why they need to come and arrest him..
at night under OT law you could kill a burglar because at night it was hard to see actual intent, if weapons were there, if they were actually there to murder you. during the day you couldn’t kill a burglar unless’they tried actually harming you.
Bummer.. He was trying to retire early too , reckun it caught up with him,, all that overtime.. if he’s lucky, they’ll get him a good paying job in prison.. and then deport his sorry arse
This is why you run your checklists.
“Yeah he is asleep now, but when eh wakes up he is nasty and cursing your mother toall get out.....”

No silly, you wake him up and then you kill him. Geez....
It’s kind of like being in the Hospital, they wake you up to give you a Sleeping Pill.
Jailbird #1: “So, what are you in here for?”
Jailbird #2: “Falling asleep on the job.”
After police woke up Pinkard, they found the jewelry in his wallet, according to authorities.
That's merely circumstantial evidence, yer Honor! He wuz...uh...taking the jewelry to the cleaners for her. As an anonymous good deed. Yeah. It was research for a book, that's what it was. Research.
