Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - A man recently charged with breaking into an occupied house in Byron turned himself in Tuesday morning.

 A warrant was issued earlier this month for the arrest of 23 year old Austin DeRoo.The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Department says a 47 year old Byron woman was taking a bath when she  heard someone kick open the front door.The intruder apparently did not know the woman was home but answered when she called out.

A spokesman says the woman recognized the voice. She told investigators DeRoo had been at the home earlier in the week looking for her son. DeRoo said her son owed him money.

Before the woman could call 911, DeRoo went to the basement, grabbed an $800 TV set and left.

 DeRoo - who has a Nevis address  - was arraigned Tuesday and released without bail.
