An ESPN radio host Ryen Russillo was arrested in Wyoming early Wednesday morning in what appears to be a case of accidental trespassing. Russillo was arrested in Jackson after he went into the wrong condo in a “highly intoxicated” state and was found lying on the ground around 3:30 a.m.

According to a report in the Jackson Hole News, Russillo was found by police with “bloodshot eyes and slurred speech” after he entered the condo of two people who were sleeping.

“Officers found the defendant, later identified as Ryen August Russillo, lying on the bed in the south bedroom naked except for his pants around his ankles,” the probable cause affidavit states.

A condo resident told police he heard someone come in and assumed it was a family member but a few moments later Russillo walked in the bedroom with his pants half down.

“He was obviously intoxicated and the only thing he said was that he was getting his stuff,” records state.

Russillo’s mug shot appears on the Teton County Sherrif’s Office website. Police think Russillo’s unlawful entry was an accident, as he didn’t force entry and the occupants of the home couldn’t remember if they locked their doors.

“He couldn’t coherently answer any questions,” Schultz said.

Russillo didn’t know where he was and thought maybe he was staying in the condo, police said. The residents said they weren’t sure if their door was locked.

“He appears to have just walked in,” Schultz said. “He didn’t force entry.”

Russillo was arrested and charged with criminal entry. According to the Sporting News, it’s a misdemeanor offense that can be punished by a $750 fine, up to six months in prison, or both.
