Stranger Walks in on Sleeping Woman in Search for Lost Friend

A drunken stranger walked into the bedroom of a 54-year-old Tinley Park woman, waking her up with a fright last month.

The Tinley Park resident told police she was startled when the man opened her bedroom door at about 3:40 a.m. on Sept. 21.

Cops found the 31-year-old Tinley Park man standing just a few steps away from the woman's home, according to a Tinley Park police report. Police said he was drunk and speaking with the Tinley Park Police Department dispatchers on his phone. He claimed that he was looking for a male friend who lived at the home.

The startled woman walked outside and identified the man as the person who walked into her room, the report states. She told police that the man's friend hadn't lived at the home for more than a year.

The victim declined to press charges. Police gave the man a ride home.
