An Annapolis man has been charged with entering a home late at night while drunk and hitting a resident with a chair.

Police say residents in the 1000 block of Forest Hills Avenue were sleeping at 12:41 a.m. Saturday when they were awakened by a noise from the kitchen.

There, a man found a burglar who had apparently entered through an unlocked door. The burglar, who was intoxicated, struck the resident with a chair and injured him, but the man was able to hold the burglar down until police arrived.

The resident was treated at Anne Arundel Medical Center and released, according to police.
