A drunk man broke into a Wisconsin home, where three sheriff's deputies from out of town were staying. They recorded it on the social media app TikTok.The deputies are from Montana but were in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for training and posted about the incident on TikTok. "About 2:30 in the morning, I heard some crashing around upstairs, but I thought it was this guy going to the bathroom. It wasn't me," the deputies said on TikTok. The Montana deputies are in Milwaukee for emergency vehicle training, but they never expected a crime to happen in their rental home.When they found the back door open, the deputies realized there was an intruder, and when they went upstairs, they found a 19-year-old sound asleep."Matt finds this dude laying in a bed in our house. Dude broke into the house in the middle of the night. This silly guy found the one Airbnb in all of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, loaded with cops. He woke up in handcuffs," the deputies said on TikTok. But Deputy Charles Pesola said the guy was actually lucky they were cops."What if that dude stumbled into a bed with a kid or my wife? I mean, it could have been a different morning, right? So wrong place, wrong time, lucky place, lucky time, that there's dudes that actually know how to handle that," Pesola said. "He had no idea where he was. He had no idea where he thought he was, and he didn't know where he came from," a deputy told sister station WISN."No this is a first for that, I've woken up in random places," the intruder said on the TikTok video.One of the deputies said he often makes TikTok videos."Part of what I do in our community is put myself out in front of people to be a real person. Cops have a hard time right now, and when they can see we're still having fun and still real people and we're good, it's a good thing," he said.The TikTok video, seen now by tens of thousands, is just one of many these guys make to show a different side of the badge."He made a mistake.
