An Athens woman returned to her home Sunday afternoon to find a stranger sitting in her living room using her laptop computer, Athens-Clarke police said.
Police identified the intruder as an 18-year-old University of Georgia student because she left her Facebook page on the computer’s screen in her haste to leave the home.
The 33-year-old resident was upset over the intrusion, but even more distraught because the unwanted visitor urinated in her couch, police said.
The victim left her home on Saturday to spend the night at her boyfriend’s residence. When she returned at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday, the blond-haired stranger was sitting on her couch, she told police.
The intruder “stammered and apologized,” than quickly gathered her few belongings and left through the front door, according to police.
When viewing the Facebook page on the victim’s computer screen, the victim saw photographs that matched the intruder, police said. The page included the suspect’s telephone number, but when police called, it went directly to voicemail.
The suspect left open a Facebook instant message box in which she was chatting with someone to whom she even gave the victim’s address, police said.
The victim told officers that “the worst part” of the intrusion was that the suspect relieved herself in her living room.
She noticed a wet spot where the suspect had been sitting, and upon smelling it she confirmed “it was, indeed, urine,” according to the report.
The suspect has an address at a UGA residence hall on South Lumpkin Street, according to police.
There was no mention in the police incident report how the stranger got inside the victim’s home.
The case remained under investigation Monday.
