A man allegedly burglarized a house in Chinatown, stole some food and ate some, but later fell asleep at the scene on Wednesday before dawn.<\/p>\n
When police officer Roque Camacho responded to the house, he saw the suspect, Christopher Romolor, still sleeping on the floor of the house\u2019s balcony next to the screen door.<\/p>\n
Camacho saw curry sauce on Romolor\u2019s mouth and hands and found next to him a stolen plate of rice, box containing a dozen eggs, paper plates, and a container with cooked food in it.<\/p>\n
Camacho woke up the 27-year-old Romolor, who was then arrested and detained for burglary and theft.<\/p>\n
At a hearing yesterday, Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth Govendo reduced to $5,000 cash from the original $11,000 cash bail.<\/p>\n
Police sought the $11,000 cash bail as they planned to file additional charges against the defendant.<\/p>\n
Police detective Catherine B. Pangelinan stated in her report that during an interview with another detective, Romolor claimed he doesn\u2019t remember what happened because he was drunk.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said Romolor also confessed to burglarizing Martha Store last April 21 and a storage room at the Aging Center last Jan. 27.<\/p>\n
The defendant also admitted to burglarizing J&G Water Company. The date of the incident was not indicated in the report.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said that on Wednesday at 3:42am, Camacho responded to a disturbance call at the residence of Mohammed Mia located in Chinatown.<\/p>\n
When Camacho arrived, Mia led him to the balcony of his house on the second floor of the building, where a man, who was later identified as Romolor, was sleeping.<\/p>\n
The back screen door lock of the house was damaged. Mia identified all the food next to Romolor as belonging to him and his family.<\/p>\n
Mia said he woke up at 3:30am because it\u2019s their religion\u2019s month of fasting. When he checked the rice in the kitchen, he noticed it was not there.<\/p>\n
Mia noticed that their back screen door was open and when he checked it, he was surprised to see a man lying on the floor next to the screen door.<\/p>\n
Mia got scared so he locked the screen door slowly and called the police. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
