COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Police in Maryland have charged a suspect they say was found hiding in a woman’s bedroom closet wearing a towel.
Prince George’s County police said in a statement Friday that a woman arrived back at her apartment Tuesday night and heard a noise coming from her bedroom. The woman told police she opened a closet door to find the man, 24-year-old Eric Tata, hiding in the space with a towel wrapped around his body.
Police said she screamed, and Tata ran away to his nearby apartment where officers later arrested him.
