While I've never broken into someone's house before, I can think of a few possible motivations for committing such an act: warmth, hunger, money... Granted this is no excuse for such behavior, but at least the reasoning makes a little bit of sense. But when a celebrity's house is broken into, you automatically assume it's just your regular super-stalker hoping for their own personal little meet and greet. However, this wasn't what the guy who broke into Celine Dion's house wanted. On Tuesday, a 36-year-old man named Daniel Bedard was charged after he allegedly broke into Celine's house near Montreal, raided the fridge and attempted to pour himself a bath before getting caught by the police.
Bedard was caught by the police on Monday afternoon after the alarm system went off. Dion and her husband were not home at the time of the break-in (since they usually live in Florida), but they use the house when they visit Quebec. Police spokesman Franco Di Genova said the suspect was getting ready to take a nice hot bath when police arrived with a canine unit. Genova states, “He opened the water faucets, was pouring a nice warmish bath (and) he even managed to eat some pastry that was in the fridge." Sounds like quite the relaxing afternoon Bedard had planned and apparently, he was a little confused about what the police were even doing there. Genova went on to say, “The suspect was coming down the big staircase and was asking: ‘Hey, guys what are you doing here?’” Then they proceeded to arrest him.
Bedard had jumped a fence to get on the property and used a garage door opener that he found in an unlocked vehicle to gain access to the house. He has been arraigned on charges which include breaking and entering, auto theft and causing property damage. I hope they're not counting the bathtub as property damage because the poor guy didn't even get to enjoy the relaxing soak.
