CARTERSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Officials say a drunk father and son burglarized a Cartersville home and were caught after the son was
found passed out under the invalid homeowner's bed.
DeKalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris said Wednesday that 37-year-old Christopher Wright of Trenton, Ga., and his son, 19-year-old Caleb Wright, of Higdon, were arrested Sunday.
Harris said they broke into the home around 2 a.m. Sunday and took car keys, medication, about $200 in cash and $100 worth of jewelry. They were about to leave when one of the residents woke up, and they hid.
Christopher Wright sneaked out but Harris said Caleb Wright apparently passed out in his hiding place under the homeowner's bed.
The homeowner's wife found him around dawn and called a neighbor and police.
The neighbor turned out to be Caleb Wright's grandfather. He turned the young man over to police.
