Cops: Thief slept in home he burglarized
According to Wichita Falls Police:
In mid-February officers were sent to a house on Fort Worth Street for a burglary.
A family member of the victim was cleaning the house to sell it.
The reporting person said they found someone had broken in, gone through some drawers and stolen two television sets, a microwave and a .357 revolver.
It appeared the suspect slept on the couch because a blanket was found on the couch and an empty water bottle was nearby.
Police lifted fingerprints from a metal box. The prints matched Desmon Demarcus Harvey. The victims said they did not know Harvey and he did not have permission to be in the house. A warrant was issued for Harvey’s arrest.
