A Watertown man crashed his sport utility vehicle while naked and under the influence early Saturday and entered a stranger’s unlocked house, police said.
Joseph Achenbach, 35, of Watertown, was charged with second-degree criminal trespass, second-degree reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct, evading responsibility and driving under the influence.
Around 8 a.m., Newtown police said, officers responded to a house on Church Hill Road after homeowners reported to police they got home from shopping to find a naked man they had never met before walking around their house.
“Obviously this was a very terrifying situation for the homeowners and we are very happy our officers were able to respond in a prompt manner, and apprehend the suspect without anyone getting hurt,” according to a statement from Lt. Aaron Bahamonde.
Although he said he didn’t want to speculate as to a possible motive, he said he could say “with certainty that alcohol and/or drugs played a role in Achenbach’s behavior.”
The homeowners called police from outside their home and officers arrived within minutes and took Achenbach into custody.
Police said Achenback pulled off of Church Hill Road and crashed his Ford Escape into the rear yard of the owners’ home while they were out. He then went inside the home through an unlocked sliding glass door.
