PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles man was arrested Tuesday after an O’Brien Road homeowner came home to find a strange man in her house, said the Clallam County Sheriff’s Offive.
The man ran out a back door after he was discovered in the house in the 500 block of O’Brien Road east of Port Angeles at about 1:40 p.m., said Detective Sgt. John Keegan in a news release.
Nothing was missing, Keegan said, but the homeowner, who was not identified, “was kind of freaked out; she was kind of scared.”
Timothy James Atkisson, 28, was booked into the county jail for investigation of residential burglary and on a pay-or-appear warrant. He remained in jail Tuesday afternoon with no bond set.
Atkisson was arrested after a detective with the Sheriff’s Office saw a man matching the description the homeowner gave deputies. He was seen walking on U.S. Highway 101 at Lake Farm Road, Keegan said.
The homeowner later identified Atkisson as the man she saw in her home, Keegan said.
Atkisson told deputies he entered the residence through a window with the intent of stealing money to help support a drug addiction, Keegan said.
