Intoxicated man wanders into North Murray Street residence

Madison Police arrested a man for entering the downtown apartment of three women as they slept early Friday morning. 

 

Around 5 a.m., police responded to a residence on the 400 block of North Murray Street after the women, all in their twenties, called about a strange man wandering into their apartment, according to a police report. Two of the women said they awoke to find the man in their bedroom. The third woman said she heard someone trying to open her locked bedroom door several times.  

 

When police arrived, they found the man, 19-year-old Daniel Smith of Barneveld, Wis., sitting on a futon in the women's living room. Police said the women could not remember if they locked their apartment door, but there were no signs of forced entry. Police discovered Smith had been drinking, and he responded to questions from police with Chicken do"" and at one point said, ""I'll tell you what day it is, it's Tuesday.""  

 

Police arrested Smith for trespassing, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property after police discovered Smith urinated in his pants and the urine absorbed into the fabric of the women's futon. Smith was also cited for underage drinking.
