A Lake Anne-area resident had a big surprise early Friday morning after he heard noises in his kitchen.
According to the Fairfax County Police Department, a man was in his bedroom at about 1:20 a.m. Friday when he heard the sounds in his home in the 1500 block of Northgate Square. When he investigated, he found a woman sitting on a counter. His refrigerator was open and a box of pizza was out on the table.
When the man said he was going to call the police, the woman left his home. Responding police officers, however, were able to locate her.
The suspect, 45-year-old Blanchee Smith, was arrested and faces a felony burglary charge.
