A WOMAN said she was left horrified after discovering another woman in her home preparing to give her child a bath, according to a report.
Areica Hill told news station WCMH-TV, “I have never heard of anything like this,” after waking up to the sound of a dog barking and discovering the alleged intruder in her home, in Columbus, Ohio.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, with Hill claiming she managed to get the woman, Elizabeth Hixon, 22, away from her child before her boyfriend restrained Hixon until authorities arrived.
Hill said: “I get up and I walk to my door and the way my house is set up, I can look down the hall.
“I see a white female lady, bent over the tub, with my 2-year-old in the tub.”
According to WCMH-TV, Hixon, who Hill said she had never met, has been arrested and charged with burglary.
An affidavit in the case, filed in Franklin County Municipal Court, said: “Ms. Hixon stated that she entered the residence, to provide care to a juvenile, which was outside the residence.”
In a phone conversation, Hixon’s mother told the TV station that her daughter had good intentions.
The 22-year-old was released after posting bond in Franklin County Municipal Court, the report said.
