A Portland couple, likely hoping to get a good nights’ rest, got the exact opposite this week when a knife-wielding burglar took his clothes off, climbed into their bed, and planted a kiss on one of them. According to Portland’s KATU, Richard Dean Defeudis, 32, broke into the home early Thursday morning and began picking off the couple’s valuables. But it wasn’t until he climbed into the bed and made his move on the man when he woke up. According to police the man immediately went for his gun and shot at Defeudis, who grabbed his pants and ran. Police found him at a nearby vacant home. He was treated at a local hospital and was arrested on charges of burglary, first-degree sex abuse, and unlawful use of a weapon. \[[KATU](http://www.katu.com/news/local/Burglar-runs-off-near-Chapman-Elementary-when-resident-fires-gun-Portland-Police-say-335784651.html "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4084142/burglar-kiss-bed/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4084142/burglar-kiss-bed/"},"headline":"Man Awakens to Not-So-Sweet Kiss from a Burglar in His Bed","datePublished":"2015-10-22T21:40:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:16.598Z","description":"Police later captured the man in a nearby vacant home","url":"https://time.com/4084142/burglar-kiss-bed/","keywords":["oregon","Newsfeed","Crime","Bizarre","News","Portland"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/oregon/","name":"oregon"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4084142/burglar-kiss-bed/","name":"Man Awakens to Not-So-Sweet Kiss from a Burglar in His Bed"}}]}] ```
