RESIDENTS CATCH BURGLARY SUSPECT


Dec 29, 2014

A Tonasket couple found a burglar in their house early this morning.

Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said the home owners called dispatch at around  3:00 AM reporting someone had broken into their home, located on Oakes Dr. in Tonasket, and they believed the person was still in the house.

The owners had heard something in the kitchen area and had gotten up to investigate. Rogers said,  as Deputies were responding along with Tonasket PD and the Washington State Patrol,  the owners told dispatch that they had located the suspect hiding in a pantry in the kitchen and were currently holding her until law enforcement arrived.

When deputies arrived they arrested 42-year-old Sarah M. Ohmer, of Oroville. A search of the home found no one else in the house.

Rogers said, Ohmer, who is well known by law enforcement, was transported to the Okanogan County Jail and booked on Residential Burglary and Theft III.
