A woman heard a noise and discovered a man in the kitchen of the apartment where she was staying Wednesday, she told police.
She said she was visiting a friend at the apartment in the 200 block of Inman Street, but the friend was gone about noon, which is when she heard a noise.
She walked from the bedroom to the living area and saw the man in the kitchen. He ran from the apartment when he saw her. She believed the door was not locked, according to the report.
When her friend came back, she insisted they report the incident to police.
The woman said a similar incident happened a few days earlier.
She was in the bedroom when she heard a noise that time as well and found the man in the living area of the house. He told her he was intoxicated and had mistakenly walked into the wrong apartment, she told police. She said that before he left, he persuaded her to give him her cellphone number and he had been texting her.
