Living by doing odd jobs for people in his neighborhood

Mike earns a living by doing odd jobs for people in his neighborhood. He was recently
thrown out of his apartment for failure to pay utilities. Since it was winter in Michigan,
it was snowing, and temperatures ranged from 30 degrees to 15 degrees with the wind
chill. Mike needed a warm place to spend the night, so he broke into the home of Tom
and Jerry, people in the neighborhood who had helped him. When Jerry saw someone
sleeping in his basement, he called the police. When the police arrived, they arrested
Mike and charged him with Third Degree Burglary.
