Intruder Sets Up Home in Family's Attic

TRUMANN, Ark.  - December 30, 2008 -- An Arkansas man accused of spending several days in the attic of a Pennsylvania family's home, eating their food and stealing other items, is also wanted for offenses in his home state.
Police said Monday that 21-year-old Stanley Carter, of Trumann, is wanted on alleged hot check violations and for nonpayment of fines, which are misdemeanor offenses. Trumann police Detective Jerry Foster says he does not expect to extradite Carter to Arkansas.
Carter was arrested Friday near Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He surrendered after a police dog indicated he was in the attic of the home. Officials say Carter had been staying with people living in an attached home that shared attic space with the family he allegedly burglarized. He apparently moved into the attic after his hosts asked him to leave.
Plains Township, Pa., police Sgt. Ron Dombroski says Carter set up a makeshift toilet in the attic and that officer found food among the items there.

Dombroski said Carter cut a hole in the roof so he could see the home's residents come and go. He said Carter, who admitted to the offenses, logged the items he took in a diary under the heading, "Stanley's Christmas List."

mp...funny you say that, in the article I read, he was wearing the daughters pants and the mothers sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Oh my, can you imagine, and the homeowner said she heard noises, but passed it off as noises her 3 kids were making. Note to self...hear noises, check them out.

I would let the guy live in my attic if he came down while I was at work and cleaned my kitchen or did a couple of loads of laundry.

I agree redhotz This was not wise of the mother just passing the noises up as "Oh Well" When I hear a noise I'm right at it checking it out to see what it is and where it is coming from. Not bright in her part I feel. Thing is what would she do if she met up with this guy face to face by herself? I've been threaten once by a guy with his fist. No fun let me tell you.

All this time they thought they were referring to God when they said "the man upstairs".
