San Diego police said that a man was arrested on prowling charges after being found naked in his neighbor’s bed.
The 25-year-old man, whose name was not given, apparently broke into his female neighbor’s house, undressed, and got into her bed, the U-T San Diego reported.
When the neighbor discovered the naked intruder, she called police.

How very thoughtful.

Police in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, said they arrested a woman who allegedly bit off a chunk of a man’s earlobe.
Broken Arrow police said Lecia Cooley, 46, was the “dominant aggressor” in a domestic dispute on a recent Saturday night. Officers arrived to find that the male victim had a “large portion of his right earlobe missing, bruising to his face consistent with a hard punch, and various lacerations from both the family dog and Ms. Cooley,” KDTV, Tulsa, Oklahoma, reported.
The police report said that Cooley, who admitted to biting the man’s ear, also had small puncture wounds that apparently came from the family dog.
Ms. Cooley and the family dog apparently fight dirty.
