Man Breaks Into Meadow Vista Home With Ceramic Rabbit To Take A Shower

A man was arrested for breaking into a home with a ceramic rabbit. After he entered the home, he proceeded to take a shower, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Office.

"This incident was a frightening ordeal for a couple in Meadow Vista who came face to face with an intruder inside their home," the sheriff's office wrote on Facebook.

The sheriff's office says on June 3 around 11:00 P.M. a Meadow Vista homeowner was watching TV when they noticed the water was running. When they went to investigate, they found broken glass by the front door.

The person then alerted their spouse, who grabbed a shotgun and discovered 25-year-old Carrola Tiago-Freitas from Elk Grove in the bathroom.

By the time deputies got to the house, the homeowner had Tiago-Freitas at gunpoint.

According to the sheriff's office, Tiago-Freitas told deputies he used a ceramic rabbit that was on the front lawn to smash a window in the front door.

Once he was able to get inside, he took a shower.

FOX40 reports that Tiago-Freitas was arrested on the scene and faces charges for suspected residential burglary.
