Resident Wakens To Find Intruder Taking A Bath

    A Umatilla woman is facing charges this week after entering a home in the early hours of Tuesday, April 5, and taking a bath. Amand Toler, 33, was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling after entering a home at 16632 Lake Smith Road through a window, undressing, and taking a bath.
    Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Umatilla Police Department officers responded to the home around 1:15 a.m., who had remained in the tub even after the residents had confronted her about why she was in the home.
    Reports state a resident, Regina Marcano, was awakened to lights being on in her kitchen area. Upon going to the kitchen, she heard the whirlpool tub running in a bathroom, and found the suspect in the tub. Toler allegedly told Marcano she had nowhere to go, and that it was alright to call police.
    The suspect reportedly entered the home through a window and left her clothes on the living room floor before proceeding to the bathroom.
    When officers arrived, Toler reportedly told them she had taken cocaine and was waiting to die. She also stated she had knocked on the home’s door before entering.
    Toler said she did not know the homeowners, and it is unknown why she picked that particular home to enter. She was removed from the tub and jailed on charges of burglary of an occupied dwelling. Bond was set at $15,000.
