ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) - A man who broke into an Adrian home before fleeing in only his boxer shorts and a pink baseball cap has pleaded guilty.

Twenty-5-year-old Ronald Harris of Detroit faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to first-degree home invasion in Lenawee County Circuit Court. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

Authorities said on Oct. 27 Harris broke into the home through a front window and removed valuables from the woman's bedroom.

Police said he was surprised by the home's residents and fled on foot wearing the woman's baseball cap and his boxer shorts.

He was arrested a short distance away and told an officer his clothes were taken by several girls, whom he was chasing. His clothes were found nearby.

Harris will be sentenced Jan. 21.
