ALBUQUERQUE, NM (WLS) -- Parents in New Mexico were shocked to find a strange man sleeping in their daughter's bedroom.

Albuquerque police said Christopher Heh climbed into the house through the first-floor window and made himself at home in 10-year-old Angeline's bed.

Fortunately, the girl wasn't in in her room. She had dozed off in front of the TV in another room. Her mother became suspicious when she noticed the door to Angeline's bedroom was locked, since her daughter was asleep on the couch.

When she and her husband opened Angeline's bedroom door, they found Heh passed out in the girl's bed.

"I grabbed a hammer and I wanted to wake him up, but I don't know if he's got a gun," said Danny Bryant, Angeline's father.

Both parents went back to their bedroom to call the police. Heh was charged with breaking and entering.

Bryant said he was glad the incident didn't turn violent and his daughter is safe.
