Bottom line is that sometimes, when you're coming down, a bowl of cereal is fucking glorious. But is it really the sort of thing you want to terrorize a middle-aged woman for? For Daniel Jeppsen, that answer is "Yes." The 30-year-old Washoe County, Nevada, man was recently arrested after invading the home of a 54-year-old grandmother and demanding to be fed.

Police say Jeppsen held the woman at gunpoint for about an hour while he searched her kitchen for the perfect snack. At the time of Jeppsen's entry, the woman's husband was taking a bath and her granddaughter was in another room. When the girl realized there was a problem, she went to a neighbour's to call the cops. When police arrived, Jeppsen was relaxing on the couch with a bowl of cereal and milk.

Jeppsen admitted using meth earlier that day and police say they found more on him, along with a syringe. Though police allegedly found a loaded .380 in his pants, Jeppsen says he never waved it at anyone.
