Ex-Employee Sleeps in Moving Company's Office, Raids Fridge, Says Report

It wasn't the first time the man slept in the moving company's office, according to a police report.

A Cambridge man was arrested Sunday morning and accused of breaking into a moving company's office, raiding the office refrigerator and falling asleep on the floor next to a coffee table, according to allegations in a police report.

The report says John Wrobel, 50, was a former employee of the Lazy Bones moving company, at 230 Somerville Ave., and that he had also been found sleeping there the day before.

According to the report, police believe Wrobel, who had been let go by the company a few days earlier, climbed into the business through a window in the women's bathroom.

When the owner of the moving company found Wrobel there, he called police and Wrobel left, the report says.

However, Wrobel then crossed the street to the fire station and struck up conversation with some firefighters, according to the report.

Police arrested him and charged him with breaking and entering for a felony.

On Monday, Wrobel was arrested again, on Bleachery Court, and charged with violating an open container law.

The above information was supplied by the Somerville Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.
