(Updated at 3:30 p.m. on 12/23/21) A 22-year-old Arlington man has been arrested after he was found covered in vomit in an Ashton Heights home.
Police say a homeowner on the 700 block of N. Lincoln Street awoke around 2:00 a.m. Saturday, went downstairs to let his dog outside and discovered a man he did not known passed out on his dining room floor, covered in vomit.
The homeowner attempted, unsuccessfully, to wake the man up. He then called police.
“The subject was highly intoxicated and confused,” said Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. “He was unable to stand on his own.”
The man was transported to Virginia Hospital Center, then arrested upon being released. Matthew [Redacted], 22, was charged with unlawful entry and felony destruction of property — for allegedly destroying a rug worth more than $1,000.
Police say [Redacted] admitted that he had been drinking at Mister Days the night before. He didn’t know how he got into the house, Sternbeck said.
