Pig-out on bacon leads man straight to the pen

An uninvited dinner guest who apparently found himself in hog heaven inside a man's Salt Lake apartment was arrested late Tuesday.

When the man who lived in the apartment opened his door near 100 West and 1700 South just before 11:30 p.m., he found a 45-year-old stranger sitting in his kitchen.

The man had fried up two pounds of bacon from the refrigerator and was eating it, said Salt Lake City police detective Robin Snyder.

The tenant didn't waste any time squealing on the porker and called police. When officers arrived, they found the bacon-eater's speech was so slurred that they didn't even try to interview him, Snyder said. They just took him straight to jail for investigation of burglary.

The investigation into the incident was continuing Wednesday, including whether the man was intoxicated.
