Man Found Competent to Face Stearns County Burglary Charge
ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- A man accused of breaking into a St. Cloud home and raiding the kitchen pantry has been found competent to face the charge.
Thirty-two-year-old Phan Xiong is charged with 1st-degree burglary of an occupied dwelling.
According to the charging complaint, a man called the police on a day last April to report a burglary. He said his wife woke him up shortly before 5:30 a.m. to alert him to a door slamming.
The man said he went to the kitchen where he found a shirtless man. The homeowner said the burglar then asked for a beer which the homeowner gave him. The suspect then left the house.

Court records show a jacket was left behind with I.D. cards for Xiong in the pocket.
The homeowner told police that food was eaten and car keys to a Volkswagon and a Honda were missing.
Later that morning police responded to a complaint of someone tampering with a vehicle. Officers arrived to find Xiong rummaging through a vehicle and Volkswagon keys belonging to the burglary victim.
A jury trial is scheduled to start on March 9th.
