Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny Williams is lucky to still have his 2005 World Series ring after a man was charged with burglarizing his home, according to the Chicago Police Department.
Williams returned from a trip, which included GM and owners meetings in Milwaukee, on Monday. He called police that day to report his home was broken into, and a hospital bracelet with a name on it was found. While police were still on the scene, they noticed someone peeking into Williams’ residence and approached the subject, who identified himself as Wayne L. Field, which matched the name on the bracelet, according to CPD spokesperson officer John Mirabelli. Field was arrested just before 7 p.m. on Monday.
Field not only was wearing articles of Williams’ clothing at the time of arrest, he also had the GM’s World Series ring in his possession, according to Mirabelli.
Among items taken by the 51-year-old male suspect from Chicago were several articles of clothing, a set of keys and jewelry. In a report on nbcchicago.com, Williams said a lobster was defrosted and beer and a frozen pizza were missing. According to the NBC report, Williams also said the man surfed the Internet and kicked his shoes off on the bed.
According to police, Field was convicted in September for misdemeanor assault.
A call to Williams from ESPNChicago.com was not immediately returned.
