LAVONIA, GA. (WHNS/Gray News) - A couple in Georgia came home to a surprise and found a drunken intruder passed out on their bedroom floor.

Police said Manuel Delatols Pizon forcefully entered a home while the homeowners were not there, WHNS reported.

While inside, Pizon allegedly found the homeowners’ jar of change and decided to take it to buy “copious amounts of adult beverages.”

WHNS reported that after Pizon bought the alcohol, he went back to the home and consumed all the beverages, causing him to pass out on the bedroom floor.

Once Pizon was passed out, the homeowners’ parents arrived and held Pizon at gunpoint until officers arrived.

Pizon was taken into custody and charged with burglary.

“If you do allegedly commit a burglary, don’t get intoxicated and pass out inside the residence you’re allegedly burglarizing,” the department said. “If you do allegedly commit a burglary, don’t allegedly burglarize a residence that is protected by parents who believe in the 2nd Amendment.”
