A man and his young son went home Saturday night and found an alleged burglar who reportedly offered to share his heroin, according to prosecutors.

Christopher Dayell Bittner, made an initial court appearance Monday on felony burglary and drug possession charges.

“He was apologetic and offered the homeowner heroin before he left (the house),” Deputy Yellowstone County Attorney Paul Adam said. “However, he was found with several items that appeared to be stolen.”

Deputies arrested Bittner on Saturday after a homeowner reported his Orchard Lane home had been burglarized, court papers say.

Bittner was found at the intersection of Orchard Lane and Southwest Ellington Avenue, where he had a backpack and its contents strewn across a yard.

Bittner said he was reorganizing his backpack and “claimed the items belonged to him and his recently deceased father,” an affidavit says.

The homeowner identified a sweatshirt, art box and face cream that had been stolen, and said he found a back window open and that property inside the house had been thrown around.
