"His arm was in my back door, trying to get in and I screamed and went upstairs to my parents room and I continued screaming," said Chloe Steward.

The family then called police.

Police said Benjamin Foster was arrested and charged with public intoxication and trespassing. He was taken to the Polk County Jail.

Iowa political strategist Eric Woolson is a consultant for the Pawlenty Exploratory Committee. He confirmed to KCCI that Foster is employed by the Pawlenty Exploratory Committee. He declined comment at this time on the incident.

1. A lot of Iowans own guns

And that damn fool is probably pretty lucky that the owner of the house either didn't pull a gun or doesn't own one. I mean, 3 AM, scaring a teenage girl, being drunk. That's a recipe for disaster.

2. Actually, the father did have a gun.

He had it trained on the guy until the police arrived and let them take it from there.
