A Bangor man came home from work Thursday morning to find a strange woman in his bed.
Darcelle Howard, 55, of Levant has been charged with burglary to a dwelling, criminal mischief, theft by unauthorized taking and violation of her conditions of release, according to Katy England, a spokesperson for the Bangor Police Department.
The man came home from work about 7:12 a.m. only to discover Howard sleeping in his bed in his Union Street residence. England said Friday morning that the man had left his door unlocked while at work.
After she was booked at the Penobscot County Jail — where she remained Friday morning, according to the jail’s website — a property manager in the city recognized Howard from her booking photo.
She resembled a woman suspected of entering a building, taking clothes from a resident and defecating on an entryway rug on Aug. 11.
