An Owensboro man was charged with burglary Monday afternoon, after allegedly entering a hotel room without permission and attempting to steal money and personal items.
According to Owensboro Police Department reports, a woman staying at the Sleep Inn in Bon Harbor Hills reported discovering a stranger in her room about 2:20 p.m. Monday. The report says the woman was taking a shower when she saw the man attempting to hide from her between the beds.
The woman called her boyfriend, who came to the room to help her. Reports say the woman and her boyfriend told officers the man was attempting to steal both cash and several pairs of the woman’s underwear.
Police charged Michael E. Aldridge, 24, of the 4100 block of Mayflower Drive, with second-degree burglary in the incident. Aldridge was being held Tuesday in the Daviess County Detention Center on $20,000 bond.
