Home intruder captured red handed in the 6000 block of Indiana

The call came into the 911 call center at 10:54 p.m. to report a burglary in the 6000 block of Indiana Avenue.

The family said they were home for about 30 minutes when they heard a cough and discovered a woman in their game room.

After a couple of minutes the woman began to talk to the homeowners. She claimed to be from Monroe, La., and said she was hitchhiking with her boyfriend, according to the homeowners report to 911. The homeowner said the woman told them the boyfriend “started to chase her, and she ran into the house to get away from him.”

The homeowners then advised the dispatchers at 911 that the woman, who said she was Sarah Johnson, 47, started screaming and moving around a lot.

The woman was held at the home by the homeowners until deputies arrived.

The first deputy arrived on scene at 11:04 p.m. and dispatchers advised that the homeowners were instructed to “approach the door and point their weapons down.”

The name Sarah Johnson did not come back as valid from the State of Louisiana. The intruder was treated at the scene by ambulance 20 and transported to Merit Health River Region.
