Intruder Turns Out To Be Confused College Student: Fairfield PD

FAIRFIELD, CT — A Fairfield woman called police over the weekend after finding a local college student asleep in the vestibule of her home, according to law enforcement.

The incident occurred about 10:30 p.m. Saturday in the beach area, police said. The responding officer awoke the sleeping student, who attends Fairfield University and is a neighbor of the woman, according to police.

The student had entered the woman’s mudroom area, which separates the exterior of the home from the interior, and was unlocked, police said.

“The student was coherent, aware of the time and day, and was apologetic for not realizing earlier he was a few houses away from his,” according to a report provided by police.

The woman did not seek any further law enforcement action, and the student refused medical attention and was taken home, police said.
