Intoxicated man allegedly attempts to enter St. George home, falls asleep on patio furniture

ST. GEORGE, Utah (ABC4) — An intoxicated man in St. George was arrested Sunday after he allegedly attempted to enter a home that was not his own and then fell asleep outside on patio furniture.

Adrian Diego Hogan, 22, was arrested early Sunday morning after the homeowner called 911, reporting that Hogan rang the doorbell in the middle of the night. According to the police report, he insisted that he lived in the home.

In addition to public intoxication, Hogan is also facing charges of assault, aggravated assault, and carrying a dangerous weapon while under the influence. He also blew .203 g/210 mL on a preliminary breath test.

The responding officer found Hogan without pants or shoes, only wearing underwear, a t-shirt, and socks. He also noticeably smelled of alcohol, along with “glossy and bloodshot” eyes, per the police report.

Upon being asked, Hogan admitted that he had been drinking. The responding officer also reported that he was slurring his words.

Hogan was “adamant” that the home he attempted to enter was his, despite not being able to tell the officer what street he was on. He also refused to provide his phone number, and said he did not know any other information that he was asked for.

“Due to the fact that Hogan did not know where he lived, or who we could contact to assist him, it was clear that he could not care for himself,” the responding officer wrote.

During their contact with Hogan, police noticed he matched the description of a 911 call from a few hours earlier, involving the brandishing of a firearm.

The call advised that an intoxicated male going by “Diego” pointed a gun at two individuals, unprovoked. One of the victims convinced “Diego” to drop the gun, but after asking for it back, the victim told him was too intoxicated to have a gun at the moment. “Diego” became angry at this and started a small physical altercation before fleeing on foot.

Upon arresting him for public intoxication, Hogan admitted he had been drinking at a friend’s house throughout the night. He said he did not know where his pants or shoes were, but another officer located clothing just up the street from the arrest location.

A pair of jeans with a leather holster attached were found with a wallet inside, containing Hogan’s driver’s license and several cards with his name on them.

The responding officer has requested that he be held with no bail, citing his history of deceptive behavior and possession of firearms as a “continuous threat to the general public.”
