A Tennessee couple have been left in shock after they caught a stranger breaking into their home and taking a shower on a security app.

Last Saturday (January 27), Kerigan Nardi and her husband were out enjoying a date night dinner.

At around 7pm, they received an alert from their home security system that there was movement in their house.

The southeast Nashville couple initially thought nothing of it, presuming that one of their dogs had set off a sensor. However, what they saw next sent a chill down their spines.

The Nardis watched in horror as their security cameras showed a stranger kick down their back door and start rummaging through their house.

Bizarrely, the man then hopped into the shower for a quick scrub.

The couple frantically called 911 as they fretted over their dogs who were in the home at the time.

"Our fur babies are there. There’s a man in our house we don’t know. We just need to get home," Kerigan told WIS 10 following the incident.

When law enforcement arrived at the Nardis' home, they found the man, later identified as Samuel Smith, sat on the couch donning nothing but a towel around his waist.

He was then arrested by police and charged with aggravated criminal trespassing and possession of meth, according to the arrest affidavit.

The man was found wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.

"He was naked, sitting on our couch," Kerigan said.

"You don’t just violate people like that. It doesn’t matter what kind of psychosis you’re in. It doesn’t matter what kind of drugs you use. You don’t break into people’s houses and violate them that way."

The Nardis explained how they've disinfected the rooms the man entered, thrown away the towel he used and bleached their shower following the break-in.

But the clean-up process hasn't been so easy for the couple.

"As he was taking a shower, in my home, he left some excrement behind," Kerigan revealed to WIS 10. "Yes, he decided that that would be a nice present for the homeowners, I suppose."

Ratted by the terrifying incident, the couple have since taken further measures to keep their home safe, installing a deadbolt lock and placing a barricade on their door to position when they leave.

They are also planning to install more cameras around their property and are encouraging their neighbors to do the same.

"I think that people need to just get cameras, and be careful because you never know," Kerigan added.
