Police: Man Fell Asleep While Burglarizing Santa Ana Home

A Santa Ana man has been charged with burglary after allegedly stealing cell phones and a PlayStation console from a home — and falling asleep next to the owners.

Ruben Diego Ortega, 20, was arrested and booked into the Santa Ana Police Department Jail after a homeowner reported finding him inside the house about 8 a.m. Saturday.

The victim was in his room, sleeping with his wife, when he felt something touch his leg, according to a statement issued by the Santa Ana Police Department. He said he got up and saw Ortega, a man he knows from his neighborhood, sleeping at the foot of his bed.

The man chased the suspect out of the house. A few hours later, the victim realized some of his property was missing. He went to Ortega’s residence in the 1200 block of West Highland Street, confronted him, and retrieved his property, authorities said.  More
