A 32-year-old man is in custody after he was arrested Sunday morning for a residential burglary in Ballard.
On Sunday, January 29th, just before 10:00 am, police responded to a report of a burglary that had just occurred in the 2200 block of NW 60th St. The resident told the operator that he woke up to find a stranger inside his living room.

The victim was brought by the stop and positively identified the suspect. The suspect was arrested and later booked into the King County Jail for burglary.
