He is being held without bail in the Franklin County Jail on the additional charge of violating the conditions of his release in connection with a reported burglary and theft in December. Hufnagel said the woman, still shaken by the experience, said she took one look at the man in her house and ran to a neighbor's to call for help. He said he had been drinking heavily the night before at his sister's, who lives nearby on Perham Street. He said he didn't know what was going on, but that is no excuse. A pair of shorts, sneakers and a knife that reportedly belonged to Allen were found on the lawn by the entrance.
Police believe the knife was used to pry open the door.
Allen had a cut on his bare foot when he was arrested, and Hufnagel said there was a blood trail across the floor from the front door to the couch where Allen was found sleeping.
