A 31-year-old South Kitsap woman was arrested early Thursday morning after a man said he found her trying steal a video game console in his home, the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office reported.
According to the incident report, the 20-year-old victim returned to his home on Fry Avenue around 1:45 a.m. Sept. 9 to find the suspect inside. He told deputies he knew something was wrong because he saw through the window that his television, which he always leaves on with his video game paused, was turned off.
The victim said he also saw a female inside his house who ran out the back door when he pulled up, but he said he caught up to her outside. The victim said he knows who the suspect is and where she lives, but he did not remember her name.
The victim said that the suspect was “tweeking,” and that she appeared to have been trying to steal his video game console, which had been unplugged. He said that she offered to have sex with him if he didn’t call 911, and she also asked if he could get her drugs.
He told deputies that his kitchen smelled much worse than normal, and that he suspected the woman had been “doing drugs, (since) it smelled like her house.”
Deputies located the suspect at her home on nearby Carter Avenue, and she said she had gone for a walk on Fry Avenue because she was looking for her boyfriend, because she thought he had gotten out of jail.
She denied breaking into the victim’s home, and said that he had “pushed her” inside and wouldn’t let her leave. The victim identified her as the woman he found in her house, and the deputies then placed her under arrest for burglary.
She was booked into Kitsap County Jail under $5,000 bail, and the five minor children in her house were placed in protective custody.
