The incident started when a witness called the police and stated that a female was trying to gain access to the front door but failed and went into the backyard of the home.
When Georgetown Police arrived - described in a uniform citation - they noticed the back gate and a rear window open with the screen removed. After announcing themselves, trying to make contact by knocking, and verbally challenging the occupants they made entry.
One officer noticed window blinds opening. A sunsequent search commenced and the suspects were found to be hiding inside and were booked into the Scott County Detention Center. Police describe the home to have been rummaged through.
