Colo. man comes home, finds squatter in underwear

(AP) GOLDEN, Colo. - Authorities in Colorado say a homeowner who was selling his house returned to the property to find a 24-year-old squatter wearing only underwear.

Police in Golden say the homeowner found someone’s car in the garage of the home when he arrived Nov. 9. They say the unidentified homeowner then discovered Timothy P. Gonzales in the house, where he had been showering, doing laundry and putting food in the fridge.

Police say they also found materials used to make methamphetamine on a work bench in the garage.

Gonzales is being held on $50,000 bond. He faces counts of suspicion of burglary, menacing, possession of burglary tools, possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest.

It was not immediately clear whether he had a lawyer.
