After leaving a Halloween party, a 23-year-old Salem man wanted to go home but wound up in the wrong house, in the wrong town and the wrong county.
David Christopher Sisk appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court/Criminal Division Monday. He asked the court for a reduction in his bond saying his family could not afford to make that bond. Circuit Judge John Putman said he would not approve a change to the bond which is listed on jail logs as $10,000 at this time.
Sisk said he was surprised he had been charged with residential burglary. He said he had entered the house only because he had been “too intoxicated to know where I was.”
He is charged with entering a home along County Road 782 in the Clarkridge area through the front door and was reported to have yelled that his name was David.
A young woman was alone in the house at the time. She went upstairs, locked herself in a room, armed herself with pepper spray and called 911. The call was clocked in at about 12:30 a.m. on November 1.
The resident told a Mountain Home police officer and Baxter County sheriff’s deputy who responded to the call that after she had gotten upstairs, she heard someone walking through the house initially but then everything went quiet.
The lawmen had been informed by the 911 dispatcher that the woman would not be coming down until the situation was under control.
They entered the house and reported finding a male asleep on the couch in the living room. When they woke him up, the man identified himself as David Sisk.
He said he had left a party and could not recall how he got to the house or how he wound up asleep on the couch.
When Sisk was asked if he should be in the house, he said he was supposed to be in Salem and did not actually know where he was.
Sisk was said to have repeatedly asked the officers to take him to an address along Hill Street in Salem.
The deputy reported the smell of intoxicants on Sisk’s breath.
The addresses shown for Sisk on various documents related to his arrest are in Salem and Ash Flat.
Sisk was ordered to reappear December 1.
