Overview
- Boston police responding to a reported break-in on Myrtle Street Saturday around 8:20 a.m. found a man naked on a second-floor toilet and took him into custody.
- The homeowner said he had first seen the stranger naked on the living room couch smoking what appeared to be a crack pipe, then secured his children upstairs and called 911.
- Police identified the suspect as 28-year-old Jainel Roman of Boston, who was booked at Nashua Street Jail on charges including daytime breaking and entering, vandalizing property, and open and gross lewdness, which covers public sexual exposure.
- Officers said the children stayed upstairs and had no contact with the suspect, and court paperwork records the intruder telling the homeowner, "I'm just hanging out."
- Neighbors described an unlocked foyer door and a second door that may not have latched, and they reported a locksmith replaced a lock as residents tightened security while awaiting court proceedings.
