An underage drinker entered a residence on the city’s west side Sunday morning, laid down on the couch and went to sleep.
About 9:45, 19 year old Edgar Jose Herrera of Plymouth was attempting to break into a home in the 300 block of South Plum Street when the homeowner opened the door. Herrera made entry into the home and crashed on the couch to go to sleep.
The occupants of the home did not know who Herrera was and called the police.
Plymouth Police Officer John Weir responded and found Herrera to be intoxicated. He was transported to the County Jail and lodged for Illegal Consumption of Alcohol and Residential Entry and held on a $3,000 cash bond.
