Police: Man helps himself to pizza, takes nap after breaking into Boca townhomes

Police say that Milor Michel entered a townhouse east of the Florida Atlantic University campus uninvited early Wednesday and helped himself to pizza from the refrigerator. Later that morning, he went to another residence a few blocks away and drank orange juice before falling asleep on a couch, according to police reports made public Thursday.

Michel was arrested on separate burglary charges and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail. He was being held without bail Thursday night.

Jail records list Michel as having an address in Delray Beach. However, city police believe he may have been homeless at the time of the alleged burglaries.  An officer responding to the initial call saw Michel in the area and questioned him.

Michel carried a worn notebook and told the officer he was studying, the report said. He was not detained.

The officer went to an address in the 300 block of Northwest 21st Lane, and spoke to residents. One man  reported that he walked out of his bedroom at about 3 a.m.  and found a man sitting on the couch eating pizza. He ordered the man, later identified as Michel, to leave, the report said.

A 19-year-old FAU student told officers she saw Michel sitting on a couch in the garage earlier that night.  Michel reportedly told the woman he was friends with someone who lives there.

Shortly before 7 a.m., officers responded to a second call in the 2000 block of Northwest 4th Terrace. There, a woman told officers she arrived at home to find Michel sleeping on a second-floor couch.

Michel reportedly told the woman he was student at Palm Beach State College and then left.  The woman and other residents told officers they did not know Michel and did give him permission to sleep in the residence.

An officer responding to the scene spotted Michel walking through the complex and arrested him, the report said.
