Replying to Rofl, homeless man caught living in bridge over chicago river

It wasn't the spiffiest Chicago Bears luxury suite on the market, but it was home.

Police have evicted Richard Dorsay, 36, after discovering he had been living for the past three years in a wooden shack cleverly built into the beams and girders of the drawbridge spanning the Chicago River.

Not only that, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, but Dorsay had tapped into the bridge's electrical system to power his space heater, microwave oven, PlayStation video games and 19-inch television set, the focal point for when he'd invite friends over to drink beer and watch NFL games.

'I've never seen this,' Tom Powers, a transportation deputy commissioner, told the Sun-Times. 'Usually, it's somebody trying to get warm at night.'

Dorsay has been charged with criminal trespass to property, a misdemeanor. Defense lawyers, though, are expected to argue that since he has been watching the Bears play the past three years, he's already suffered enough.
