Carson City arrest log: Woman breaks into home, drinks beer and attempts to steal items
A witness who reported a burglary in progress at a Pheasant Drive home Monday resulted in the arrest of a woman who was inside the residence drinking beer and filling a suitcase with items she intended to steal, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
Kristina Margaret Schneider, 44, of Reno was arrested on suspicion of felony burglary, being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm, possession of stolen property and misdemeanor destruction of property.
According to the arrest report, deputies were called to the 4000 block of Pheasant Drive for a burglary in progress. The reporting witness told dispatch that an older model Toyota backed into the driveway of a home and broke the garage door. The vehicle drove away but a female wearing a black sweatshirt crawled under the garage door.
A deputy stated he arrived and observed a female coming out from the front door, looked at him and immediately went back inside the residence. Officers attempted to make contact via the partially open garage door and announced “sheriff’s office” several times, according to the arrest report. Deputies also attempted to make contact by knocking on the front door and the side of the house announcing their presence.
Movement could be heard inside on the second floor and from the garage area. At 11:45 a.m. a female voice yelled from upstairs when it was announced that a K-9 would be coming into the house. Two deputies convinced the woman to come down the stairs and out of the door where she was then cuffed and arrested.
Schneider was read her Miranda rights and said she met the victim on social media and that she had stopped by the house to make small talk. She said she arrived at the house with a friend who she only knew as “Brad.” She said the sedan backed into the garage door and she rolled under it to gain entry into the residence. While inside she drank a few beers and some hard alcohol, and then found a suitcase in a hall closet and filled it with the victim’s belongings, including several pieces of Navy service memorabilia, awards and a computer among other things.
She said she found a shotgun in a case in the victim’s bedroom closet. She removed the shotgun from the case and attempted to put it inside the suitcase but it didn’t fit. She said she put the gun by the door. She said she planned to leave the residence with the suitcase filled with items as it would be easier and less suspicious, the arrest report states.
Dispatch ran a criminal history check on the woman and advised she was an ex-felon for burglary, and registered in Washoe County. Bail: $67,500.
