A parolee on an electronic tether broke into a Ferndale womanâs house while she was away, drank her alcohol and took a snooze for a couple of hours, police say.
The suspect, George Mashatt, 52, is jailed on $100,000 cash bond and had a video hearing in Ferndale 43rd District Court on Thursday.
He is charged with second-degree home invasion and has multiple felony convictions on his record.

The 41-year-old woman who owns the house in the 300 block of Spencer called police after she returned home Nov. 29.
âShe discovered her back door was open,â said Ferndale Officer Jill Mahlmeister. âShe started checking her house and noticed a basement window was open and the screen was removed.â
