Bathtub burglar: Man breaks into home, takes fully-clothed bath

SEATTLE (KOMO) — A 27-year-old man was arrested Friday night after breaking into a Madrona home, filling up the bathtub and taking a bath with his clothes on.

According to the Seattle Police Department, officers received reports of the burglary on the 1700 block of 34th Avenue around 7:15 p.m. A woman reportedly returned home to find one of her windows smashed and a man inside. She remained outside and called 911, police said.

Police arrived and, after getting no response from anyone inside, began searching the home, SPD said. The man was found in the bathroom, "clothed but very wet, and the bathtub was full of water," police said.

The suspect declined to provide any explanation for the burglary, police said, and was booked into King County jail for residential burglary.

Police dubbed the suspect a "bathtub burglar" in a press release.
