Pasco resident returns home to find burglar

HOLIDAY — At first, on Wednesday, she helped herself to some craft supplies. And a knife. A purse. One hundred CDs.

The window curtains.

Shellie Leonard wanted more, authorities said, and on Thursday she went back to her neighbor's house on Dalwood Drive with plans to steal a computer and electronics. Her neighbor had been away but came home Thursday — and caught Leonard stealing, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said.

Leonard, 43, of 4004 Darlington Road in Holiday, was arrested and charged with two counts of burglary. She remained Friday at the Pasco jail in lieu of $10,500 bail.
