Naked, bloody, and high: Man accused of breaking into East Austin home, hiding in another

The suspect was reportedly high on PCP and had been hit on the head with a lamp after breaking into a neighbor's home too.

AUSTIN — Naked, bloody, and high is how an East Austin family found a man inside their living room who had just broken into a home next door.

Landon Kash and his family are still trying to wrap their heads around what happened inside their home on Rogge Lane Sunday afternoon.

"[My family] heard a bunch of commotion. The dogs going crazy. They went in the living room and there was a naked man just sitting on the couch holding the dogs," Kash said. "He got blood all over the puppy and everything."

Kash's family kicked the man out and called 9-1-1. They thought he ran away.

"Next thing you know, my grandma goes outside to throw something away, and she sees him," he said.

It turns out the man had been hiding inside their garage.

"You just don't expect something like that to happen and much less in the afternoon on a Sunday," Kash said.

Officers eventually arrested the man. Patrick Weeks Jr., 21, is charged with criminal trespass.

Before entering Kash's family home through the front door, which was unlocked, Weeks broke into the home next door, according to police. A woman who was home at the time hit Weeks, who was naked, in the head with a lamp before he escaped.

Weeks was high on PCP, a drug that makes people hallucinate, according to his arrest affidavit.

"It's a good thing that nobody did have a gun, and he didn't get killed or shot or anything like that, that everyone was safe, 'cause obviously he wasn't in his right mind," said Kash.

Weeks was still in jail as of Monday evening. His bond is set at $7,500.
