Jacksonville, FL — She heard the front door open and then found a shirtless man standing in her house.

A St. Augustine woman is shaken-up, but otherwise OK, after pushing an intruder out of her home.

The offense report from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office says they found a man matching the description of the intruder a short time later, during a patrol of the woman's neighborhood.

Deputies say he appeared to be swaying from side to side and that his speech was slurred. The man, identified as Devin Howell, 20, initially admitted to drinking a couple of beers, but later said he drank an entire case of beer.

Deputies searched his backpack and found him to be in possession of marijuana as well.

Howell is now charged with trespassing, disorderly intoxication, and possession of marijuana.
