What’s scarier than the ghosts and goblins roaming the streets on Halloween? Coming home from trick or treating to find a stranger on your couch, for one.
Today's blotter:
Rockingham County sheriff’s deputies say Harold and Amanda Davis of 670 Belron Road in Stoneville returned home from taking their children candy-hunting around 10 p.m. Saturday to find a man asleep on the couch. One of the kids saw the man, screamed and woke him up.
When the man walked outside, Mr. Davis asked a neighbor to follow the man while he searched his home further to make sure no one else was there.
A deputy arrested Rogelio Bahena Bahena, 27, of 938 Galloway Street in Eden and charged him with breaking and entering. He was given a bond of $20,000 and is being detained by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Deputies said alcohol was a contributing factor in this incident.
Also, the Davises did not lock their door before leaving, deputies said, but nothing was stolen or disturbed.
