[The Northerner]

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police in Oregon say a man broke into a home in Portland to watch television.

The Oregonian (http://bit.ly/uWK5am) reports that 32-year-old Jason Leon Bastrom faces charges of criminal trespass after the homeowner called police.

Police say Bastrom let himself in through an unlocked front door early on Sunday and sat down on the couch to watch television. They say the homeowner alerted authorities, and then sent over a family member who lived nearby.

Authorities say the family member confronted Bastrom and struck him in the head, knocking him unconscious. Authorities took Bastrom to the hospital to be treated for injuries before booking him into the Multnomah County Jail.

6. My mentally challenged son ran away from his group home and did the same thing. He also helped

himself to food. I am thankful the homeowner did not shoot him when he woke up and caught him.

7. Didn't have porn channels on his own TV, maybe?

:shrug:

If he was watching Fox News I might have smacked him in the head too.

Otherwise I'd offer him a beer, see if he runs away, or if he's just high, lost, and nuts.

MTV ought to recruit him for a skanky reality show... They could call it "Guys you find on your Couch."

8. He did not break in, he entered, front door was unlocked
