A Southern California father has found a drunken man wearing boxer shorts in his startled 10-year-old daughter’s bed.

Signal Hill police spokeswoman Crista Martinez says the father yanked the intruder out of the girl’s bed and held him until police arrived and arrested him. Signal Hill is a small city next to Long Beach.

The man, whose name hasn’t been released, told officers he was looking for a place to sleep and he reached through an open window and unlocked the front door.

The father tells KCBS-TV that he heard noises in his daughter’s room at 2:20 a.m. Sunday and found the man in the girl’s bed. The girl says she thought her mom might be in bed with her, then looked and saw it was a strange man.
