23 year-old Emil Audinett, a vendor of Fern Lane, was charged with being caught in a house without adequate explanation. It is alleged that he broke into his sister's home.
25 year-old Devaney Wallace reported to police that at around 7 yesterday morning, he and his common-law wife left for work, and they locked up their house on Rose Lane in the Lake Independence area.
Wallace said that he forgot something and returned home 5 minutes later.
He tried to open the door, but found that it was locked from inside, which only happens when someone is inside.
Eventually he got the door open and that's when he found his common-law wife's brother, Audinett, inside the house. Audinett allegedly told him that he was there to look for detergent, and that he found the door open.
Wallace didn't buy that story, and reported it to police as a break-in.
In court, Audinett pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail of $600. The matter has been adjourned to May 10.
