A 58-year-old man was arrested after Cape Coral police say he broke into a home and left behind a prescription bottle with his name on it.
Samuel Blake Sroufe told police he entered the home because he is homeless and has nowhere to stay, according to police.
The incident happened at a home in the 200 block of SE 26th Street.
The homeowner said they found their rear French doors damaged.
Officers found the home in disarray and numerous items of high value were left behind including a pill bottle that belonged to Sroufe, police said.
Fingerprints left behind in the home matched Sroufe’s prints.
Sroufe faces charges of criminal mischief over $200 and burglary of an unoccupied dwelling.
He was also arrested on a felony warrant for arson out of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
