Unwanted guest charged with breaking and entering
Ashley R. Coates, 29, of Liberty Township, was charged with breaking and entering and trespass related to an incident Wednesday, June 5.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office responded about 12:50 a.m. to an address on Township Road 108, Huntsville, on a report of a woman found sleeping on a couch inside the caller’s residence.

Deputies located the woman, later identified as Coates, walking along T.R. 108 just west of the residence.
She reportedly told deputies that she was homeless and that she was just trying to find somewhere to stay. Coates said a stranger had given her $10 and told her to go to this residence on T.R. 108, stating it was a shelter where she could stay.
The defendant stated she made entry to the home through a rear door and said while she was there, she laid on the couch and watched TV. She said she drank cranberry juice from the refrigerator.
She was placed under arrest and transported to the Logan County Jail.
