An intoxicated 19-year-old woke up to find himself in handcuffs after breaking into a Milwaukee Airbnb occupied by several Montana sheriff’s deputies who were visiting from out of town for special law enforcement training.
The deputies were asleep at the time the drunken teen made his way into the home. When officers woke up, they spotted the back door ajar and the intruder sleeping soundly upstairs. The officers posted a TikTok video online over the weekend explaining how the situation came to pass.
“This silly guy found the one Airbnb in all of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, loaded with cops,” deputy Charles Pesola said adding that the teen was lucky there wasn’t a trigger-happy family sleeping in the home.
“What if that dude stumbled into a bed with a kid or my wife? I mean, it could have been a different morning, right? So, wrong place, wrong time [but] lucky place, lucky time, that there’s dudes that actually know how to handle that,” he said, according to the news outlet.
The deputies said the teen was drunk and had no idea where he was or where he came from.
“This is a first for that, I’ve woken up in random places,” the teen says in the video.
“Cops have a hard time right now,” he explained. “And when they can see we’re still having fun and still real people and we’re good, it’s a good thing.”

The lawmen called 911 and reported the break-in to local law enforcement. The teen was taken into custody by Milwaukee Police but he allegedly was released with just a slap on the wrist.
The teen said that he made the TikTok video in an effort to represent a different side of police officers not often seen by the public.
