Portsmouth Police Officers responded to a report of a burglary in progress on 17th Street just before 9 am. A witness reported a shirtless, tattooed man kicked in a door and went inside a home.
When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a highly intoxicated man who had kicked his own doors. Police said he was pretty disorderly and difficult to deal with.
There was a sober party in the home who was able to look after him, so the police advised him to go inside and get some sleep.
