Burglary of an unoccupied dwelling. Police arrested a 25-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man after they were found inside an abandoned home.
A concerned neighbor called police after she suspected there were people in the home, according to a police report. When the reporting officer arrived, he noticed significant amount of trash and debris around the home. The officer noted in the report that he had spoken to the home's owner several times, and that she's voiced a clear desire to ensure the home remains empty, including pursuing charges against anyone found inside.
The officer heard the two individuals moving around inside, and spotted the pair leaving from a broken window. He ordered them to stop and were held at gunpoint until other officers arrived on the scene, according to the report.
The pair told police that they were granted permission to stay in the home by a woman who works at a nearby bar, and were told to just clean and repair the home. The man later told police that his brother had caused damage to the property and that he just wanted to fix it.
Both suspects were taken to jail.
