Police: 'Goldilocks' Burglar Broke Into Home, Raided Fridge, Slept in Child's Bed

Published January 13, 2015

A man is charged with burglary after someone broke into a home here, ate cheese from the refrigerator, made a mess in a bathroom and fell asleep on a child's bed.

Tracy Mullins, 47, of Billings, was arraigned in District Court on Thursday by video from the county jail. He pleaded not guilty to burglary. Judge Susan Watters set bail at $5,000 after rejecting a request that Mullins be released without bail. Public defender Richard Phillips, who made the request, said Mullins had been receiving mental-health counseling.

Court records indicate a woman awoke in her home Monday at 8:30 a.m. to the sound of snoring coming from her 2-year-old son's bedroom. Her son had slept that night with her and her husband.

The woman said she found a strange man sleeping in her son's bed. She woke her husband and left to call police from a neighbor's house. The husband confronted the man with an unloaded shotgun and held him until police arrived.
