Alleged Burglar Cooks, Makes Fresh Juice

ANDERSON, S.C. - Apparently, you can build up quite an appetite breaking-and-entering. James Michael Fowler, 26, was arrested for burglary Tuesday after a neighbor watching the house found a pan of cocktail franks cooking on the stove and some freshly made orange juice nearby.
Anderson Police Lt. Layton Creamer says when the neighbor went to check on the home, she saw the food cooking and a black stocking cap on the kitchen counter.
Creamer said it looked like Fowler broke into the two-story house through a first-floor window.
Officers didn't find Fowler at first. But when authorities returned to collect evidence, the neighbor noticed the key to the patio door wasn't in the lock, Creamer said.
That's when police saw Fowler lying, coiled up on the deck floor, Creamer said.
After authorities surrounded the house, they arrest Fowler as he tried to get back in through the deck door.
"He heard us and was trying to make his escape," Creamer said.
