Man steals kitchen utensils and a small dog

CORAOPOLIS, Pa. (AP) - August 1, 2012 (WPVI) -- A Pittsburgh man allegedly broke into a woman's apartment while drunk and stole a potato peeler, a kitchen knife and a small dog.

Online court records don't list an attorney for 24-year-old Garrett Stauber, who was arrested shortly after the burglary was reported about 3 a.m. in Moon Township.

Township police say a woman called 911 to report that Stauber kicked in her door, took the utensils out of her dishwasher, grabbed her dog then left.

A neighbor heard what was going on and briefly scuffled with Stauber who was found sitting shirtless on a couch in his friend's apartment in the same building where he had been staying recently.

Stauber, who doesn't have a listed phone, faces a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.
