Homeowner surprised by stranger

A 43-year-old man who walked into someone else’s Superior home Sunday thinking it was his own was taken to a Duluth hospital.

Superior Police were called to the home on North 19th Street at about 1 p.m. Sunday, according to a Superior Police report. The homeowner told the responding officer that the man just walked into his house, went to his refrigerator and pantry and opened them up. The stranger told the homeowner that he lived upstairs in room eight. The homeowner than walked upstairs with the man to show him he only had three rooms on that floor.

At that point, the stranger went to sit on the front porch and the homeowner called the police. The man appeared disoriented and could not tell police where he lived, according to the report, so he was transported to the emergency room at St. Luke’s Hospital.
