CERES, Calif. — A Ceres homeowner woke up to something unexpected when they found a stranger had fallen asleep in their home.
According to a press release, Ceres police said officers were called to the 1600 block of Richland Avenue on the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 16, after the homeowner called to report an unknown man was refusing to leave their home.

The press release said that when the homeowners discovered Durham in the morning, they woke him up and told him to leave, but he refused and fell back asleep. That's when the homeowner called 911.
Durham did not say why he had wandered into the home, but was arrested and now faces charges of burglary.
