A man passed out in the bushes outside the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium after a game and, upon awakening, entered the team’s clubhouse and stole electronics, a credit card, team memorabilia, and other items, according to a criminal complaint.
The 25-year-old man was charged on Dec. 14 with felony burglary, online court records show.

The complaint says the man attended a Sept. 8 doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee’s American Family Field, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. He said he drank at least 10 beers, passed out, woke up, and got back inside the stadium by pulling on a door until it opened.
He found his way to the clubhouse and started taking stuff from the locker room, the complaint said. A team strength coach said items taken from his office included a laptop, iPods, headphones, a passport, and a credit card.

Two game jerseys and a bag with baseballs and pitching devices were taken from the coaches’ locker room, according to the complaint.
