There is a reason Timothy James Chapek 's hair looks so shiny in a mugshot released last night by the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office: authorities say he was showering when he realized he wasn't alone in a house in Southwest Portland.

The house he had reportedly broken into.

Reportedly, because when he called 9-1-1 just after 7 p.m. on Monday, police say he reported to dispatchers what he had done. And he shared his worry that the homeowner outside the bathroom door might have a gun and most certainly had two eager German Shepherd dogs.

Meanwhile, the homeowner also called 9-1-1, confirming the trespasser's story, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson, a police spokesman.

Officers from Portland Police Bureau's Central Precinct responded to the 2700-block of Southwest Rutland Terrace, along with their own dog, and arrested Chapek, 24, of Southwest Portland, without further incident.

He was booked into the Multnomah County Jail and faces charges that include first-degree criminal trespass.
