When a 16-year-old St. Paul girl awoke in the early morning hours of Sept. 1, she saw a man in her bedroom closet. She screamed, and the man “got spooked,” apologized and ran, according to a criminal complaint filed against him this week.

The girl’s father heard the girl’s screams and went to her bedroom, where she told him what she saw. Her father and mother went downstairs and encountered the man wearing the girl’s clothes, the complaint says. He left the home, located in St. Paul’s Merriam Park neighborhood, but was arrested the same day — less than a mile away — after he reportedly went inside a car and refused to get out.

According to the criminal complaint, police were dispatched to the home in the 1800 block of Marshall Avenue on a burglary call just after 3:30 a.m. The girl’s father told police she said she saw a man in her closet and that he said he was “sorry, sorry” before he left her room.

Once downstairs, the father asked him what he was doing and he replied, “God called me to come here” and asked why the home’s door had been unlocked. After he left, the father saw the man had made food in the kitchen and turned on a TV in the living room.

The father gave police video surveillance footage that shows the man entering the home through the front door naked. He grabbed a towel from the front porch and wrapped it around his waist. He walked through the house before putting on the girl’s clothes. In addition to the clothes, he stole $50 from a jar in the home, according to the complaint.

A St. Paul police investigator later learned of an incident a half-mile away in which a man was captured on video surveillance walking naked in a yard just over an hour before the burglary.

According to police, a woman reported that her Ring camera caught a naked man walking around their home in the 1800 block of Summit Avenue about 2 a.m. the same day and trying door handles. He did not enter the home. She said she has had problems with the man in her yard before.

About 5:45 p.m., a caller in the 1900 block of Grand Avenue reported that an unknown man was sitting in their car and refusing to get out. He eventually did, but was argumentative, the caller told police. He then tried to get into another car, causing another confrontation to ensue.

Officers arrived and located the man, identified as 24-year-old William Kweku Enin of St. Paul. He was taken to Regions Hospital for a mental health evaluation, police said.

Enin was charged by warrant Wednesday with first-degree burglary in the Marshall Avenue case. He was booked into the Ramsey County jail the next day.

At a first court appearance on the charge Friday, a judge ordered that Enin undergo a Rule 20.01 evaluation, which is used to determine whether a defendant is capable of communicating with a defense attorney and competent to participate in criminal proceedings. Enin remained jailed in lieu of $35,000 bail on Friday, ahead of a hearing scheduled for Oct. 23.
