Couple finds woman asleep on their couch

Monday, April 30, 2007

RIO - Paul T. Qualls and Amber N. Stephens, both of 423 Knox Road 2350N, told police they returned home at 12:40 a.m. Sunday to find a woman asleep on their couch.

Qualls told police they found a beer can on the back porch. The couple knew something was amiss since neither of them drinks beer.

The couple found another beer can and a can of tuna in the kitchen. Qualls found a knife in the sink that police believe was used to open the tuna can.

After Qualls told the woman to leave his residence, the woman departed on foot.

Qualls said the same woman entered their home in January and told him she was hooked on crack cocaine.

The woman is described as 5-foot-6, 130 pounds, with blonde, shoulder-length hair.
