Taken from an incident report from the Kitsap County Sheriff’s office:

Kitsap County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man and woman as the two finished looting an abandoned house on the 14300 block of Carney Lake Road SW, around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

When deputies got to the house, they saw a white, Chevrolet pickup truck, with plants and “miscellaneous home items” coming out of the driveway.

The first deputy to arrive activated the emergency lights on his patrol car and asked a man and woman in the truck what they were doing.

The man said that he came down the driveway to urinate, and the items were in the back of his car because he was in the process of moving from Belfair to Port Orchard.

Backup deputies arrived on the scene, and several went into the “unsecured” house to investigate.

They discovered that someone had apparently removed two ceiling fans from inside the house and several planters from a deck outside.

The deputies also found a stripped car inside the garage which, they discovered, had been stolen from Tacoma.

They went back outside, read the man and woman their miranda rights and spoke with them about the incident.

The man said that they had gone down the driveway and saw that the house was abandoned, so they decided to help themselves to the items inside.

The woman, he said, had stayed in the car as a lookout.

The deputies also spoke with her.

She denied knowledge and involvement in the burglary at first, and she insisted that they’d gone down the driveway so that the man could urinate.

But, when the deputies told her that the man had already admitted to the burglary, she admitted that he had taken some things from the house while she acted as a lookout.

The man then gave the deputy permission to search his vehicle.

He found unidentified pills and partial pills as well as a “green leafy substance”  that one of the deputies recognized as marijuana.

The woman said that the pills were lorazapam, oxycodon, and the green leaves were marijuana. She said that she didn’t have a prescription for the oxycodon.

The man was booked into jail for residential burglary, and his bail was initially set at $10,000. The woman was also booked into jail for residential burglary and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and her bail was set at $15,000.
