PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Pike County man is facing criminal charges after he remained in an apartment after the resident went to rehab, while also using the man’s car and debit cards.

Pikeville Police were contacted Tuesday by the housing manager of Ridge Cliff Apartments after she noticed a man staying in an apartment, even though she hadn’t seen the resident in over a week. When she went to question the man, he refused to give his name or say where the apartment’s resident was.

When police went to talk to him, he identified himself as David Bauer, 60, of Pikeville. He told police he had been staying in the apartment for weeks and driving the resident’s car.

However, the resident had reported his car as stolen. Police then spoke with the resident’s sponsor, who had been in communication with the resident. He informed police the resident had previously allowed Bauer to drive his car, but he later told Bauer he was not welcome to use the car or his apartment after learning Bauer had taken some things from him.

Police placed Bauer under arrest for second-degree burglary and auto theft. After he was taken into custody, Bauer reportedly admitted to police that he had also used the resident’s debit card, which earned him a charge of fraudulent use of a credit card.

He is being held on a $2,000 cash bond.
