An Oklahoma couple was shocked when they woke up to discover a drunken intruder asleep in bed with them. The couple called police, ran out of the home and watched as the officers arrested the man who was still asleep despite the loud sirens and commotion. Dan Johnson, 24, was arrested on the scene and charged with burglary. According to Officer Chad Anthony, it took a great deal of effort to wake the suspect up from his deep slumber. "After about two to three minutes, Johnson stood up. I saw that he was very intoxicated," he wrote. Johnson had a cell phone on him that belonged to one of the victims and also $4 in cash that he apparently stole. He is also suspected of kicking down a door at the home and attempting to get in by using garden trimmers to pry open the door.
