BROOKLINE, Mass. - Police arrested a man Monday they say broke into a mansion owned by former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and model Gisele Bundchen and made himself comfortable on a couch while no one else was in the home.
Police in Brookline, just outside Boston, responded to the home around 6 a.m. after a security company monitoring the home reported that alarms had gone off in the house. They reported seeing an intruder in the house on a security camera.
The man was found lying on a couch in the basement, police said.
No one was home. Brady and his family moved to Florida after he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the off-season.
Police described the suspect as a 34-year-old homeless man, but his name wasn't released. He faces arraignment later Monday on charges of trespassing and breaking and entering, police said.
The 12,112-square-foot (1,125 square meters) mansion on 5 acres (2 hectares) is for sale but is an off-market listing, so the exact asking price is unclear, The Boston Globe reported this month. It had mostly recently been listed at $33.9 million.
