A woman playing a real life role of Goldilocks, was caught sleeping in a child’s bed, after entering into a Portland woman’s home.
The Portland mom was shocked to find a homeless woman laying on her child’s bed. Then she was completely floored again after the liberal city’s woke district attorney let the trespasser loose within a day.
The frightening incident took place on Monday after Kelsey Smith left her front door unlocked to give contractors working on her home access.
However, the workers weren’t the only ones to enter her home, according to security footage from Smith’s home.
Lynn Zinser, 54, a homeless woman, also waltzed into the house, making her way to the bedroom of Smith’s 10-year-old son and plopping herself down under a pile of laundry on the bed.
Smith said she discovered the homeless woman after her dog started barking. She went to have a look and found someone hiding under the clothes on the bed.
At first Smith said she thought it was her husband playing a prank on her, but quickly realized it was a stranger.
Video footage from a surveillance camera set up in the room to watch the boy for medical purposes shows the intruder, and Smith is heard demanding she leave. A relative heard the commotion and called 911.
Zinser got up and left, and was quickly arrested on burglary and harassment charges, but Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt’s office released her a day later.
Smith said, “I called Schmidt’s office Tuesday to check on Zinser’s status, only to learn that she’d been released. They said the charges have been dropped and that I can leave a message for the DA, and he can call you back. I haven’t heard anything and that was two days ago.”
“I have to assume someone heard that message and nobody has gotten back to me. I don’t understand why she is not in jail. She’s not harmless. She proved that,” Smith continued.
Zinser was released from jail under a “court ordered release” with her bail set at $0.
“My first thought was what is going on?” Smith said. “The fear didn’t come until after she was gone, and I started to run through the scenarios in my head about how this could have played out differently if my younger kids had been home.”
