A transient is accused of breaking into an Iowa City residence, then conducting household tasks as if she lived there.
The alleged victim reports leaving his Jema Court residence around noon on Thursday. When he arrived home just before 2am Friday, he reportedly encountered 30-year-old Samantha Buhr inside his house. The man told police he does not know Buhr, and she had no right to be inside his home.
While Buhr was inside the residence, she allegedly rearranged the decor, ate and drank from the refrigerator, and even took several items to the curb as trash.
Buhr fled before police could arrive, but she was found nearby and charged with 3rd Degree Burglary. If convicted, she faces a maximum of five years in prison.
