A woman in the Gatewood neighborhood was awakened when an intruder touched her face as she was sleeping.
The incident took place in the 6500 block of 39th SW around 3:30am.

She thought it was her husband at first and asked what was going on. When she heard a reply that was not her husband she turned on a light and a male suspect fled her home, taking her cell phone with him.

She immediately called 911 from another phone and officers responded quickly finding the suspect in an alley nearby.

The victim confirmed his identity to police and he was arrested. Police determined the suspect entered the home through an unlocked back door before making his way to the bedroom.

The suspect was booked into King County Jail for investigation of burglary.
