Andrew Swafford, 30, was charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering over the weekend
A college student got the fright of her life after returning to her dorm to find a man wearing all her clothes and hiding in her closet.
The University of North Carolina student, named only as Maddie, said she found 30-year-old Andrew Swafford wearing her socks and shoes and holding a bag of her clothes this weekend.
According to Maddie, she had noticed items of clothing going missing for some time in the run up to Sunday's upsetting discovery.

She had just finished work and was returning to her UNC Greensboro apartment complex at the Summit at the Edge Apartments when she found Swafford.
'I've been having pieces of clothes go missing, like shirts and pants,' Maddie told Fox 8.
'We always joke that there's a ghost in here because I've been missing clothes since I've been living here.
'I just hear rattling in my closet. It sounded like a raccoon in my closet,' Maddie said. 'I said 'Who's there?' And somebody answers me. He said 'oh my name is Drew'.
'I open the door and he's in there, wearing all of my clothes. My socks. My shoes. And he has a book bag full of my clothes.

'He tries on my hat. He goes in the bathroom and looks in the mirror and then said 'you're really pretty, can I give you a hug?'' she recalls. 'But he never touched me.'
Maddie said she stayed with Swofford for about 10 minutes before her boyfriend arrive and he fled the building.
Police in Greensboro then arrested Swofford a block away from the apartment complex.
He was charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering, although police spokesperson Ron Glenn said Swofford was 'not violent'.
'She apparently came home around her lunch break, heard a noise in her closet and found him in there,' Greensboro Police spokesman Glenn said.
Greensboro Police did not reveal how Swofford managed to gain entry to the apartment, despite Maddie and her roommates saying they always lock their doors.
He is currently being held on a total of $26,600 bail at the Guilford County Jail, according to records on the Guilford County Sheriff's Office website.
Swofford appeared in court on Monday via video conference and remained in custody. It is not clear if he has hired an attorney and he could not be reached for comment by Heavy.
