A construction worker who made improvements to a Manoa home four years ago was arrested for allegedly intruding there Thursday, police said.

The resident, a 34-year-old man, had gone to bed about 10 p.m. when he heard a noise from another room. He got up and found a man standing in front of his bedroom and recognized him as a man who had done work in the house, police said.

The men struggled before the suspect ran off and was stopped by officers less than a block away on Huelani Drive, police said.

Officers booked the suspect, a 34-year-old man with no local address, on suspicion of unauthorized entry into a dwelling and three contempt warrants.
