A man who stole $100 from a Santa Ana apartment resident Monday morning returned to the same complex hours later, broke into another unit and ordered a resident to cook for him as he ingested narcotics, according to police.
Santa Ana police released a sketch of the man wanted in the burglary reported Monday in the 500 block of North Lyon Street. He remained at the apartment for about three hours before leaving on the woman's bicycle.
The first case occurred at about 7 a.m. when the man entered a residence through an unlocked door. The man stole $100 from the resident's purse as she slept, then "calmly fled" after he encountered the woman's son, police said.
About six hours later, the man returned to the apartment complex and forced his way through the window of another unit. A female resident confronted the man, who demanded that she remain in the apartment and cook a meal for him.
"The victim in fear for her safety complied with the suspect’s demands to cook for him while the suspect ingested narcotics," police said in a statement.

Police in Santa Ana, Calif., released this sketch of a man who they say broke into a woman's apartment and demanded a meal before stealing her bicycle.
The man -- police said they do not believe he had a weapon -- remained in the apartment for about three hours before leaving on the woman's blue Schwinn Beach Cruiser bicycle.
Call 855-847-6227 or 714-245-8345 with information about the case.
The subject was described as a black male, about 40 years old, 5-feet-5 and 160 to 170 pounds. He was wearing a black "snow-type" jacket with a black hooded sweatshirt that had a red writing or logo on the front.


Did he stick around long enough for dessert?
Sounds like an Obama voter
The police drawing looks like Travon Martin, maybe he is alive in Cali??
Arthur66 sounds like your mama.
Probably tried to eat a McDonald's Hamburger.
thank God she had a recipe for fried chicken and gritts handy and as luck would have a bottle of ripple
Arthur. Obama says that it could have been his son, if he had a son.
of course this guy can climb in and out windows without worry of being harmed, the guns laws in California only benefit the criminals !
I dare him to come to my neighborhood, It will be the last window he poked his head through ! pow pow pow pow pow pow pow, I would have been more but the law only allow 7 round clips and I wouldn't want to go to jail protecting myself !
Now if the homeowner had been armed with a grilled cheese sandwich, this whole tragedy could have been averted.
JFC--- and some watermelon for desert.
This guy was clearly on drugs or unwell, what's all of your excuses for all of your racists comments.
His race has nothing to do with his actions, he most likely has a mental illness and in the past he would have been kept in a hospital and away from society, back when we would pay for the care of the mentally ill for their benefit and ours. When no one wants to pay to keep the mentally ill well or at least separate from us, we all have the chance to randomly pay in increments of $100 or with blue bicycles.
Arthur 66 ,You need to see a doctor before this obsession with Obama causes you to hurt yourself or others !!
He was black???
It was an apartment dweller, not a homeowner. A homeowner might possibly have had the doors locked.
And with the second comment, we have a winner! Obama haters can find a way to express their hatred in any story. And racists can always find something nasty to say about black people in general in any story. You guys need to grow up and step into maturity, unless you truly are just kids playing on the computer.
White Tea Part-iers are having fun with this, even as the Stock Market goes to record highs, the Bush Tax is now 82% permanently IN-PLACED, and black male unemployment in America continues to be the highest of any discriminatory group in the Western World.
Let's hope the next POTUS, President Hillary Clinton, continues to heal the tide and grow Liberalism progressiveness for the USA. Long live the Honorary Barack Obama, you are doing your best.
California - where the criminal element knows easy pickin's!
Well what did he want to eat? He is entitled. Everything is free in California. Wasted away in Obamaville..........
You should post things that are less ignorant. Just saying.
No can do, Holly.
Oh well, Biden told us all to buy a shotgun.
Oh well, guess she wasn't listening when Biden told everybody to
just "buy a shotgun"!
Or, at the very least, a semi-automatic oven.
Denver Bill. Everyone should have a gun toting dog also. That dog that shot his owner the other day was a pretty good shot.
wascigarman,
Good call. I'm going to have to re-do all the aphorisms. For example,
"Guns don't kill people. People, dogs and ovens with guns kill people."
"You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hand ...... or paw ..... or broiler."
"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws (and bad dogs) will have guns."
Denver bill,
There's a common occurrence with all those isn't there?
If someone doesn't pick up a gun, then the gun will stay right where it is. It won't get up and it won't fire by itself. The dog one just shows that people need to be more responsible, but the dog actaully caused the gun to go off. The oven reference once again shows people need to be more responsible. Who puts live ammo in their oven? Besides, the ammo would have stayed intact had it not been for the interaction of the 18 year old girl turning the oven on. She was injured more from the actual casing than the true projectile. Since there was no barrel, the gases that cause the projectile to gain speed were not confined, and the gun powder caused the casing to explode sending shrapnel in all directions.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
He would not have been hungy if it was coke. Probably a couple of 40's and a giant doobie caused the munchies.....
"I'm Rick James bitch!"
Seven: Sounds like the voice of experience talking. I defer to your first hand experience in these matters.
Just common sense Bob, no need to be a d!ck. It does seem to come natural to you.
You don't have to be a drug user to know its effects.
That's like accusing someone of being a marijuana user because they know that marijuana makes you high.
He looks like Aquaman, are we sure this was not a 5th grader sketch artist......
Aquaman? More like James Brown crossed with The Fly.
Or a cross between Joan rivers and ?
another black person committing a crime....shameful to there race
Another racist piece of white trash who can't spell. Shameful, indeed.
Mike, what is shameful is your grammer, pick it out boy and not your nose. Oh, Dale Earnhart is also not an angel now........
Yikes IXLR8! It's grammar not grammer.
(1) pot - kettle - black
(2) glass houses
(3) as I say not as I do
LOL Bob, busted, happens every time....
@Mike, I'm sure you're the pride of yours. (rolling eyes)
She should haved laced the food with oxys or something to put him to sleep and then call the cops. Of course, a crackhead like him probably isn's affected by sleeping pills.
The article stated that he was sitting, watching the cook, and eating narcotics. Pretty typical day I'm thinkin'.
I sure wish that he had broken into my house and demanded that I cook for him. I can guarantee you that it would have been his last meal. In Florida we have stand your ground, and he would be in the ground by now.
Yes, we all know that forcing someone to cook for you is a capital offense.
Gotta wonder what she fixed for him - he stayed there 3 hours! And what kind of wine goes with meth? Hmm. . . white, I guess, and very dry.
It would be if he broke into my home and demanded that I cook for him. And how the hell would you know what his intentions were until it was all over with? What woman can take a chance on a burglar's good will?
Are you that stupid? Yes, forcing someone to cook for you when he has broken into your home sure as hell is a capital offense. It's a freaking HOME INVASION, and any invasion, whether into a home or a country, is a capital offense.
Because republican voters never commit crimes. Maybe he did vote for Obama because he did not have an assault weapon.
If Obama had a son, he'd look more like his mother than his father.
He just wanted his "gibs". Lucky thing he didn't "muh dik" anybody while he was there.
The update to the article said he ordered Steak Oscar (a filet with a crab cake, some asparagus and Bearnaise sauce), grilled fingerling potatoes with black truffles and a Caesar salad with Creme Brulee for dessert with an espresso.
It took her 2 hours to prepare it.
... and she had to send out for a really good Cabernet.
Too bad that it was not fava beans with a white wine sauce.
. . . and a creme de meth as an aperitif. . .
Let's hope she put a suprise in his food. :-)
Must be an Obama disciple, he's entitled to be fed by others.
Michelle would have him on a healthy diet. He would starve to death.
There is no way this guy would have hung out in my apartment for 3 hours doing drugs, while I cooked for him! I would have told him I was going to fry him some chicken. Then I would have heated a big pan of oil and when it got almost smoking hot, dumped it over his head.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
etc.
LOL! Good one.
When he shows up again I hope the apartment resident is waiting with a shotgun and blows a big f&cking hole completely through him.
Sound like this guy is out to lunch pretty much all the time.
And the problem is?
Obviously he is just trying to make a better life for himself by getting a meal so he'll have the energy to work after getting some money to pay for drugs so he could relax.
An hour later he broke into another apartment and demanded that the renter mend his jeans, and cook him a 5 course meal.
Misspelled words happen. "White Trash" remarks are just an example of reverse racism. A thief is a thief, no matter race, nationality, religious beliefs, or politics. Just glad no one was hurt in this case.
Check the streets... he probably homeless.
james-101st --Racism is racism and a thief is a thief .... I don't care if he was white or what ever color. A crime is a crime. I am so tired of hearing people talk about White or Black, Dem., or REP. We are American's and I wish all of this would stop. There was a person that had a problem and the cop's need to find him . White or Black
He's wearing a "snow type jacket" in Santa Ana? It is 80 degrees. Just look near some place that sells ice cream cones. He is trying to cool off.
