Police: Pasadena woman finds burglar asleep on floor of her home


  1. PASADENA >> A Pasadena woman awoke to find a burglar asleep on the floor of her home after breaking in, rummaging through the house and making himself a sandwich early Saturday, police said.
    The burglary was reported just after 6:30 a.m. in the 300 block of South Grand Avenue, Pasadena police Lt. William Grisafe said.
    An intruder made his way into the home through an unsecured door and rummaged through several rooms, he said.
    But the man apparently developed an appetite while in the midst of the break-in.
    “He decided to make himself a sandwich,” according to the lieutenant.
    A woman who lives at the home awoke to find the burglar asleep on the floor, Grisafe said.
    She called police, who took responded and took him into custody without a struggle.
    Marvin Donnerson, 51, was booked on suspicion of burglary, according to Pasadena police officials and Los Angeles County booking records.
    Donnerson, who has an extensive arrest record in Los Angeles County dating back at least three decades, was being held without bail due to a hold placed on him by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, records show.
    He was scheduled to make an appearance Tuesday in the Pasadena branch of Los Angeles County Superior Court.
