Police: Wichita man uses headstone to break door

PoliceWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police have arrested a man who they say used a 40-pound headstone to break through a family’s glass door in the middle of the night.

A woman and her 3-year-old son were sleeping in the bedroom early Sunday when police say the 23-year-old man broke in. The man told the woman that he was being shot at and needed to use her phone.

She tells KAKE-TV the man ran out of the room when she said she was going to get her gun.

Police say they found the man hiding behind a wheelbarrow in the victim’s backyard. They say he was likely high.

The woman says the headstone is a memorial for a pet.

The man’s identity hasn’t been released. No charges have been reported.
