A man suspected of committing half a dozen burglaries and sexual attacks in the West Hollywood area in the last six months was arrested by sheriff’s deputies hiding in the bedroom closet of a 70-year-old woman who was still soundly asleep. A sheriff’s spokesman said John Henry Farr, 39, of West Hollywood was booked on suspicion of burglary after a neighbor spotted an intruder climbing through a window of the woman’s apartment in the 1200 block of North Crescent Heights Boulevard. The neighbor called deputies, who arrived to find the woman asleep and Farr in the closet.
