A woman found a naked 15-year-old girl in the closet of her 16-year-old son’s bedroom, she told police Tuesday morning.

The woman said she demanded an explanation. The girl said she ran away from home Sunday and had been staying with different people. She said the woman’s son sneaked her into the house about 3 a.m.

The girl explained that she was naked because it was hot in the room so she decided to sleep without clothing.

The officer issued a criminal trespass citation to the girl and called her mother, who came to take her home.
