Drunken man shows up in stranger's home, says he remembers attending a hockey game

[cigaretteman]

A drunken man ticketed on suspicion of trespassing in a stranger’s home told police the last thing he remembered was being at a UNO hockey game.

Police were called to a house near 69th and Davenport Streets about 5 a.m. Saturday by a homeowner who said he was holding an intruder at gunpoint.


Officers found the resident standing in an entryway of the house. He was pointing a gun at a 33-year-old man who had “very slurred speech and appeared to be incredibly intoxicated,” according to an Omaha Police Department report.

The intoxicated man had a ticket to a University of Nebraska at Omaha hockey game that had started 10 hours earlier at Baxter Arena, which is about 2 1/2 miles from the house. The man told officers that he remembered drinking at the game. He could not, however, recall how he ended up inside the house.

The man was ticketed on suspicion of trespassing and released.

I've heard worse explanations.

True story.

When I was dating my now wife, I had a buddy and his girlfriend (now wife) come up to CR to go out drinking and then crash at my wife's apartment. The night proceeds as planned, we get bombed, go get Taco Bell and then retire to our rooms for some shut eye.

The next morning my buddy starts telling us a story from the night before. Apparently, he "woke up" while he was standing at the toilet peeing. He finished up, flushed, and was headed back to his room to continue sleeping it off. Only when he came out of the bathroom the apartment looked "backwards" from what he remembered. He walked into the living room and saw someone sleeping on the couch. He headed towards the front door and when he looked across the hall he saw my wife's apartment. Sometime throughout the night, he'd gotten up, left my wife's apartment, entered the apartment across the hall, took a piss, woke up, staggered out to the living room feeling confused, realized he was in the wrong apartment when he opened the front door and hightailed it back to my wife's apartment.

I'm still not sure how he didn't wake anyone up or get hurt/killed in the process. We always seem to re-tell that story every time we're together now. It was somewhat frightening back then, but we just laugh about it now.

That's outstanding.
Best similar story I have is from a bachelor party in IC around 1997. My buddy's sister was marrying a guy we'd known for a long time and we talked them into coming in from Chicago area for the party. He brought 5-6 guys including his 2 brothers and 1 "unofficially adopted brother", a psycho named Jerry.
We hit all the local establishments until the bachelor and a few others are beyond functional. As we make our way back to the penthouse (our shitty 2 room apt in what essentially was the attic of a building on Dubuque street out by the frat houses), we realize we're a man short. At this point there isn't much to do about it as no one remembers seeing Jerry for quite a while. Those that knew him well said he'd be fine so whatever.
At about 6am we get woken up by call and it's Jerry. He's at "some gas station called QT, and he needs picked up right away bc he's effing freezing". I volunteer to go get him, mainly bc I'm dying to know where the hell he'd been all night. When I pull in to pick him up at the QT on Burlington down by the library, I see immediatly he's filthy, covered in scrapes, blood, dirt and mud. When I ask wtf happened, he says he had no idea, but that he woke up on the rocks down by the river below that bridge over there and has no idea how he got there. I still wonder if that dipshit didn't go over the rail, over the dam and somehow live to not remember it.

A friend of mine had a similar story. He was wasted and was dropped off at his condo. Apparently he entered the wrong condo and climbed in bed with a neighbor who was in her 80's. She freaked out, called the cops and he never woke up until the cops shook him to get up. He was charged with a few felonies that were eventually reduced down to misdemeanors.
