Ok, I'll admit that I laughed at the comments. If you read through them you'll find some people who knew the homeowners. The homeowner has a two year old daughter, and the perp has a record.
Appleton police nab burglar drenched in barbecue sauce
The Post-Crescent
APPLETON — Police early today arrested a man drenched in barbecue sauce after being called to a home for a burglary in progress.
Officers responded to a home in the 1600 block of Wilmer Street just after 4:30 a.m.
The couple living there heard whistling coming from their basement after the alarm clock sounded, police report.
The male resident armed himself with a shotgun and went to the basement stairs to find the light on. He turned the lights off, which led the burglar to ask what he was doing.
The burglar, who turned 35 today, left the basement and put his hands up upon seeing the firearm.
The burglar said he entered the home because he was on the run from the government, according to police. The barbecue sauce, he said, was an “urban disguise.”
The man was wearing the woman’s jacket and the man’s hat upon arrest, police report. His shoes had been left in the basement.
The man was booked into the Outagamie County Jail on one count of burglary.
Items taken from the home included a can of soda — and a bottle of barbecue sauce.
