Deputies: Intruder Uses Bathroom After Getting Into Roseville Home Through Unlocked Door

ROSEVILLE (CBS13) — Authorities say a Roseville family came face-to-face with an intruder inside their home last week.

The incident happened early last Wednesday morning at an undisclosed neighborhood in Roseville.

According to the Placer County Sheriff's Office, a man had apparently gotten in through an unlocked door while the family was putting their kids to sleep. The man then stayed in the home for a bit - even using the bathroom to have a bath, deputies say.

"Nunley had been in the house for two hours before the family even knew he was there," said Placer County Sheriff's Department Public Information Officer Angela Musallam.

Eventually, the suspect was caught by a resident as he walked out of the bathroom. The suspect then ran out of the home.

Deputies searched the area and caught the suspect -- who is identified as 28-year-old Roseville resident James Nunley II -- a little while later.

Nunley has been arrested and booked into jail. He's facing a burglary and probation violation charges.

The sheriff's department doesn't believe Nunley stole anything from the home.

Authorities urge residents to ensure their doors and vehicles are locked and that valuables are out of sight.
