A St. Paul couple heard the sound of someone in their home in the middle of the night and found a drunk, naked stranger, police said.
After the couple checked around their house in the 1700 block of West Minnehaha Avenue and determined it was not their adult daughter they had heard, they found the man in a bathroom area, said Sgt. Paul Schnell, police spokesman. He had taken his clothes off — they were found wet — and left them by the front door, Schnell said.
Police were called about the disturbance at 3:51 a.m. Saturday. Officers noted the man appeared disoriented and, when they tested him for alcohol, he had a high blood-alcohol concentration, Schnell said.
The man, identified as Theodore Gary Lundeen, 22, "indicated he did not have any idea of where he was or how he got there," Schnell said. Lundeen, of St. Paul, lives about 2 1/2 miles away.
Neither the couple nor their daughter knew Lundeen, Schnell said.
Police cited Lundeen for trespassing and booked him into the Ramsey County jail.

The Treichel family of Cambridge didn't need convincing. They'd already fallen in love with Izzy, the Australian Shepherd they adopted in February.
But what Izzy did at 3:00 Sunday morning has earned her family's gratitude for life.
"She just jumped up on our bed and started growling," says Maggie Treichel about the unexpected wake-up that greeted her and husband Tom.
Their bedroom door was closed, but Izzy seemed to sense something on the other side.
"She knew something was wrong," says Maggie.
Within seconds Tom was standing at his daughter's doorway staring that something in the face. "It was a silhouette of a man sitting in a chair next to my daughter's bed."
Tom turned on the light and soon realized the man seemed pretty scared himself. "I just kept asking him 'What are you doing in my daughter's bedroom? What are you doing in my daughter's bedroom?' and he just didn't have anything to say.
Maggie called 9-1-1, while Tom made sure the intruder would be waiting when police arrived. "He made a quick dart for the door but I was standing right by him and I was able to grab him and put him onto the ground and told him he wasn't going anywhere."
