STAMFORD, Conn. -- A Wilton man found wandering in a Stamford apartment told the homeowner and police officers that he was just looking for a place to get cleaned up, police said.

The man, found in a Willowbrook Avenue home late Wednesday morning, told officers and the homeowner that he had soiled himself, police said.

David S. Pollack, 36, of Old Huckleberry Road, was charged with disorderly conduct, police said. Pollack had pushed the upset homeowner out of the way as he made his way to the shower, police said.

The homeowner, who had been in Florida, returned to find the man, who he didn't know and wasn't supposed to be there, wandering in an apartment in the residence at about 11:30 a.m., police said.

The 41-year-old homeowner rents out a unit in the home as an apartment, Sgt. Kelly Connelly said.

"He said Pollack started rambling how he (defecated) his pants and needed to take a shower," Connelly said. "As he attempted to get into the bathroom, the homeowner was pushed back by him."

The homeowner called police. When officers arrived, Pollack repeated to them what he had told the homeowner, police said.

"He told the officers 'I (defecated) my pants and I have no idea what is going on,' " Connelly said. Police said he appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol and they handcuffed him.

Police contacted the renter, who returned to the residence. He said that he knew Pollack and allowed him to stay the night, police said. But the renter said that when he left for work Wednesday morning he told Pollack to leave, and Pollack said he would go, Connelly said. The renter said it did appear to him that Pollack may have been under the influence, police said.

Police found 26 grams of what is believed to be marijuana at the apartment, but there were no charges lodged in connection with that, Connelly said.

It was the second suspicious incident at the residence in two weeks. A man overdosed on drugs there on April 9, Connelly said. The man survived, she said.
