Police saw a shiny, blunt object in the man's left hand. Police pulled out a Taser and the man stopped. The man then set down a 12-ounce can of beer, reports stated.

One of the students said the man had entered the house through a side door, which had been unlocked.

The man had gone to the table and picked up an open can of beer. The man had started to drink the beer and was singing.

The student said he and his roommates had asked the man to leave several times.

The students then tried to push the man out of their house, but he kept coming back in, reports stated.

The student said the man had told them he wouldn't leave unless the students gave him money.

The man kept yelling curses at police.
