Iowa City Police have arrested a burglary suspect who was allegedly caught in the act.
A witness reports seeing 29-year-old Samantha Buhr, a local transient, enter an apartment at 612 South Johnson Street just after 12:30 Thursday afternoon, then exit quickly. Buhr reportedly forced the door open, causing damage.
Police found Buhr nearby. Investigators say she admitted to entering the apartment to remove property, but she claimed those items belonged to her. Buhr does not live at the apartment, and police say she has no affiliation with the property or its residents.
Buhr is charged with 3rd Degree Burglary, a Class D Felony punishable by a maximum of five years in prison.
