BENICIA -- A Benicia man was being held on burglary and other charges after he was arrested over the weekend while hiding inside a bedroom closet in possession of a folding knife and a roll of duct tape.
Benicia police said Timothy Allen Allison was being held at county jail on first degree burglary, breaking and entering and obstruction of justice charges.
According to a posting on the department's Facebook page, at about 2:45 a.m. a woman living in the 1300 block of West K Street called dispatch to report hearing noises coming from a bedroom.
While dispatchers stayed on the phone with the woman, she waited outside her home until officers arrived.
When officers entered the bedroom, they found Allison hiding inside a closet in possession of a folding knife and a roll of duct tape. His vehicle was later found in the area.
He was arrested after a brief struggle and was booked into Solano County jail.
The woman was physically unharmed, but emotionally shaken.
