Police say an Illinois man forced his way into an empty apartment complex - to nibble on some candy.
Iowa City Police arrested Cory G. Johnson, 26, of Rock Island, for third-degree burglary late Friday afternoon.
Officers responded to a burglary in process report in the 300 block of Haywoord Dr., Iowa City, after a neighbor called reporting that the door of an upstairs unit was being kicked in repeatedly.
Upon arrival, police found a broken door frame and door, that looked forced open. Johnson was inside the apartment, appearing confused and exhausted, officers said.
Police said the resident of the apartment returned a short time later, she said she didn't think any items were taken but instead believed the accused may have eaten some candy she left out on her coffee table.
