A 36-year-old burglary suspect was arrested Thursday after a man found her in his home on 93rd Avenue, police said.

The man came home about 12:45 p.m.; he wrestled the woman to the ground and called police,  Tumwater Police Detective Chuck Liska said. The woman appeared to be under the influence of narcotics and apparently had been eating in the home, Liska added.

Officers determined that the woman had broken into the home Wednesday and returned Thursday.

She was booked into the Thurston County Jail on two counts of burglary.
