YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA Portland woman is still in a complete state of shock after the stranger she found in her son's bed on Monday was released from jail.
Kelsey Smith, who lives in Northeast Portland, said that when she heard the dogs barking, she checked the front door as contractors were supposed to work on an accessible bathroom for her son.
After following the dogs to her son's bathroom, she saw that someone was under a pile of clothes. Her son was not in the room at the time.
"The dogs continued to go crazy, specifically my chihuahua, which was running circles around my legs, which was really unusual," Smith said. "I followed her to where the other dog was into my children’s bedroom. My lab was standing on top of the bed on top of a pile of clean clothes that I had thrown on there. I walked in wondering if she had cornered a mouse or something because she was going crazy and I realized there was a person under there."
Smith initially thought that the person under the pile of clothes was her husband and called his name, but got no response. She then realized that a homeless person was on the bed.
A Portland Police Bureau public information officer told Fox News Digital that Terri Lynn Zinser, 54, was arrested and booked into the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office jail on charges of burglary and harassment.
The public information officer said that Zinser threw an ottoman at a resident of the house. She was later arrested by police on Monday and booked into jail.
Booking data shows that Zinser was released on Tuesday, just one day after she allegedly walked into Smith's home. Her bail was set at $0, and she left jail under a "court ordered release.
