A Boulder man has been arrested after police say a couple he did not know found him playing the guitar in their living room in the middle of the night.
Richard Neil Sheppard, 28, has been arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary and first-degree criminal trespass.
According to an arrest affidavit, a couple living in the 1500 block of Pine Street woke up at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday when they heard a “thump” and their dog began to growl.
The male resident told police he walked downstairs and encountered a male wearing a maroon stocking cap playing the guitar on a couch. The resident said, “Hello,” and said the intruder responded, “I live across the street,” before handing over the guitar and saying “sorry,” according to police. The man then left.
The resident told police the man did not appear drunk or on any other substances.
