MEDICAL LAKE, Wash. – A 59-year-old man is facing charges after deputies found him hiding under a blanket inside a business in Medical Lake.

The incident occurred when an alarm company reported seeing the man on video inside the business on Sunday. Upon arrival, officers discovered a hole in the window large enough for someone to climb through.

The suspect, identified as Russell Garner, is facing charges of burglary and mischief. Garner told investigators that he broke in because he was cold and needed to warm up.
