Georgia family members say they returned from vacation to find stranger living in home
Members of a Georgia family returning home Wednesday after traveling over the holidays said they were stunned to find that a man they did not recognize had changed the locks and claimed the house was his.
The homeowner, Sylvia Dungan, told KION that she was out of town at the time of the licking, but that her children were home. They were notified by the surveillance system when it detected movement near the front door.
“I thought, boy there’s a lot of traffic. I go, 5:00 in the morning? My son doesn’t get home till 6:00 a.m. well then who the heck is that?” Dungan asked.
She added that "you kind of laugh" about the situation "because technically he didn't do anything."

Authorities said they recognized Arroyo from the footage, and that he's now facing misdemeanor charges of prowling and violation of probation. He's also facing a charge of theft after police accused him of stealing Christmas light extension cords at the Salinas home.
Police forwarded their report to the Monterey County District Attorney's Office.
