“Susan Warren also known as ‘The Cleaning Fairy’ was back in police custody today but this time it wasn’t for breaking into homes to clean them; this time she was shoveling driveways without permission,” Cleveland’s WOIO-TV reports from Elyria:
Elyria Police went to a home on Brandtson Avenue today for a report of a “suspicious female” shoveling a driveway without the homeowner’s consent.
During questioning, the officer discovered that 53-year-old Susan Warren had a warrant through Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office for probation violation. . . .
In November of 2012, Warren was sentenced to one year of probation for breaking into a Westlake home, cleaning it and leaving a $75 bill for the homeowner on a napkin.
Apparently the officer didn’t believe her when she said her record was clean.
