BATH, Pa. (AP) � State police have charged an eastern Pennsylvania man with burglarizing a neighbor's home by cutting a hole that linked his basement to the neighbor�s.

Paul Buskirk, 22, has been in the Northampton County jail since Sunday on burglary, theft and other charges.

Police said Buskirk sawed through his wall and created a hole to get into a woman�s home sometime on Dec. 4.

Buskirk then stole $200 worth of quarters the woman had stored in several envelopes, officers said.

The woman called police when she came home and found drywall pieces in her basement � along with a shirt covering a large hole in the wall. Police say Buskirk�s mother told them he slept in the basement of her home.

Online court records did not list an attorney for Buskirk, who faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 19.
