The woman said she had been awoken by a loud, crashing noise. She climbed out a window to escape the house and took refuge in the barn.

She also said she couldn’t actually see her home from her hiding place.

The noise, she said, sounded like somebody was stumbling through the house in the dark.

The caller also said her mother was still inside. Her mom also had a pistol that she had recently purchased.

Deputies responded and checked the area outside the home and then searched the interior of the residence.

A deputy found a Roomba robot vacuum that had sucked up some clothing and gotten stuck, and was making noises as it tried to continue its path through a bedroom.
