A Florida man ended up hog-tied and blindfolded by the side of a road after allegedly breaking into a home and eating the residents’ cereal this week in Washington state, according to news reports.
The 52-year-old transient from Tampa had just arrived in Washington and had tried a “new drug” in the woods, he told authorities, according to The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
When the homeowner awoke and found the stranger helping himself to breakfast at his kitchen table, he grabbed a rifle and chased the intruder while another resident called 911.
The residents caught up to the man and hog-tied him as they waited for deputies.
The news report did not identify the intruder.
The incident began before dawn Monday in the rural community of Glenoma, roughly halfway between Seattle and Portland, Oregon.
