Police discovered a burglar hiding in a closet at an Ypsilanti Township apartment complex Monday night, Washtenaw County sheriff's officials said.

Sheriff deputies were called to the Paschall Apartments, located at 15 Johnson St., at 11:30 p.m. Monday night for a report of a possible breaking and entering in the main office area. A neighbor had heard what sounded like glass breaking and called 911.

Deputies discovered that a window was broken in the building. They subsequently discovered a 30-year-old man hiding in an office closet.

He was arrested and was expected to be arraigned on charges Tuesday.

I wonder if this could be the same 30 year old that was in the paper last week for another crime and released?

"The cops are here, where'll I hide? The closet, they'll never look in here". Wrong.
