A Florida man is accused of breaking into a house where he was found without plants and in possession of a carpet cleaner, although he says he doesn’t remember because he was using methamphetamine.
Austin Alexander Smith, 23, was charged with burglary of a habitation and booked into the Polk County Jail.
According to Winter Haven police, residents inside a home on 6th St SW in Winter Haven, Florida, were woken up suddenly on Thursday at around 1:36 a.m. by hearing a loud noise at the door.
