AMHERST — Upon arriving home Friday afternoon, a Leverett Road resident found a strange vehicle parked in the driveway and an unknown man sleeping on a couch in the house.

Officers determined that a college-age man had driven to the wrong house, entered the residence and fell asleep, said Detective Nicholas Chandler. Police learned of the incident about 3:15 p.m.

After waking up, the intruder apologized to the resident and planned to go to the neighboring home where he was supposed to meet a friend, authorities said.

No charges are being filed against the man.
