Confronted burglary suspect undressed and jumped into bath

A woman was arrested in a bath tub after being confronted by a homeowner.

Police were called to a burglary in progress at a home in Sacramento on Wednesday morning.



When the homeowner found the woman inside the home, the woman, Chara Lara, told the homeowner she lived there. When that lie didn’t work, Lara undressed and jumped into the tub for a bath.

Police struggled with Lara as she dressed and was handcuffed. She was not alone, however, police believe Lara had an accomplice who was able to take some of the victim’s power tools while Lara distracted the homeowner.
