Apr. 5—MANKATO — A Mankato resident reportedly awoke to a man he didn't know standing over him wearing his clothes.

A resident on S. Broad Street said he heard noise around 5 a.m. Friday, assumed it was a roommate and fell back asleep. Around 7 a.m. he woke again to a man he did not know standing over him. The man was wearing the occupant's shirt and pants that were inside out and he said, "I live here," according to a court complaint.
The man slowly left the apartment after asked and was detained by police. He appeared to be under the influence of a narcotic and was taken to the Mayo Clinic Health System hospital in Mankato.
Damage was found in the apartment and to the building, including a broken television and a window that appeared to have been broken from the outside by a rock. A fire extinguisher also had been emptied.
