In
a sad story which says as much about the country’s mental health system as
criminal law system, an Oklahoma City woman named Kelly got a surprise in her
kitchen on a Friday morning.
Kelly
said, “Somebody was standing there with that door open. Then I said, ‘Who
are you and what are you doing in my kitchen?’ She said, ‘My name’s Michelle
and I’m just having cookies and milk.”
Kelly
said, “I stayed right here and said, ‘Michelle, I need to know who else is in
this house and I need to know how many people are with you.”
The
woman said she’d been beaten up and was just there eating milk and cookies.
The woman’s pants were
outside. In addition to the milk and
cookies, the woman got pesto and pepper jack cheese. She also had some cash and
jewels. The homeowner went to get her
husband and his gun. The burglar was
gone but quickly found.
She faces charges of first-degree
burglary and larceny. Hopefully, she’ll
get some help in jail, too.
