Docs: Thief showers, tries on clothes, jewelry - KOIN.com
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A 22-year-old man allegedly got into a Portland apartment, took a shower and tried on clothes and jewelry that belonged to the woman who lived there.
Kye Phillips of Salem is facing a burglary charge for the April 8, 2019 incident at the Everett Microlofts in the 300 block of NW Broadway, not far from the Post Office.
The resident told police and said she got a Ring camera alert on her phone and saw a white man walking around her apartment. She called 911 and when officers arrived they said they found Phillips still wearing the clothes.
When he was taken into custody, "he stated that he planned to split (the jewelry) with his boyfriend," a probable cause document stated.
The document also stated a neighbor told police he "confronted" Phillips as he knocked on the apartment door and Phillips got inside after the "neighbor accidentally knocked a hole in the door" trying to contact the resident.
Phillips appeared in a Multnomah County court Wednesday. Authorities are not releasing the Ring video at this time.
