The man allegedly broke into the victim's house in Safety Harbor, Florida, about a half-hour from Tampa, early Tuesday morning through an unlocked back door while the victim was asleep in the home. The suspect then proceeded to cook – and eat – his food, WTVT-TV in Safety Harbor and WFLA-TV in Tampa reported.
Deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office eventually found the man in a wooded and swampy area behind the house, where he was arrested.
