Sunday Siesta Leads to Burglary Charges

Tyler Mansfield decided to take a nap on Sunday afternoon in someone else’s house without permission. Manfield helps himself to a change of clothes to help induce a sound slumber, we are guessing. The homeowner excused Mansfield from his house, but Mansfield didn’t want any part of that. Mansfield quickly realized the homeowner was very serious and ended up getting a ride over to Wadley Hospital to verify his well-being. Texarkana Texas Police OfficerĀ Brent Lawing insisted upon providing Mansfield a free ride to The Bi-state to face Burglary of Habitation charges. You will want to read the complete details that follow.

A man came home on Sunday afternoon to find someone he didn’t know asleep on the floor in his house on W. 20th Street. He grabbed hold of him, led him out the front door, and told him to leave. It was at this point that he realized that the man was wearing his clothes. When he demanded them back, the man went into a fighting stance and took a swing at him with his fist. That turned out to not be a good idea at all… Without thinking, the homeowner defended himself. He hit the man once and then picked him up and slammed him to the ground – knocking him completely out. When Officer Brent Lawing got there a few minutes later, he found 30-year-old Tyler Mansfield laid out in the front yard and wearing only his boxers and socks. šŸ¤­ Yep… The victim had already retrieved his property back from Mansfield.

Mansfield was transported to Wadley Hospital to be sure that he wasn’t injured. After the doctor medically cleared him, he was arrested and booked into the Bi-State Jail for Burglary of a Habitation. His bond is set at $25,000.
