Rhode Island woman drives her car for 30 miles before noticing naked man asleep in her car
EASTON, MASSACHUSETTS: An anonymous woman drove 30 miles from Providence, Rhode Island to her workplace in Easton, Massachusetts on Sunday night, August 21, without knowing that a semi-naked stranger was asleep in the back of her car. The panicked woman called 911. Upon arrival the authorities found a man asleep on the floor in the rear of a Chevrolet Tahoe in a parking lot. The woman involved was not injured in the incident.
According to the Easton Massachusetts Police Department, the man, identified as Jose Osorio, 21, was "partially clothed, with a pair of shorts around one leg and a shirt wrapped around one arm, leaving the rest of his body uncovered," Police Chief Keith Boone wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. "It was apparent to the officers that Osorio was extremely intoxicated and through an interpreter service, later learned that he had consumed a large amount of alcohol and marijuana earlier in the evening in Providence," according to the statement. "At some point during his intoxicated state, Osorio entered the unlocked vehicle and fell asleep."

Authorities determined that Osorio was able to climb into the woman's car when she started the engine and then went back inside her home for a brief period of time and was found in the rear of the vehicle sleeping. The victim told officers that, "she had been listening to a podcast during her drive to Easton, and it wasn't until she pulled into the parking lot at work that she realized a man she'd never seen before was in her car." She told the officers that Osorio had not threatened her in any way and she had not been injured.
Osorio was arrested without incident and transported back to police headquarters for booking, where he was charged with "breaking and entering into a vehicle in the nighttime," according to police. According to authorities, the man also had an outstanding warrant from Cranston, Rhode Island for a prior breaking and entering. Osorio was transported to Taunton District Court for an arraignment.
