Woman charged with burgling MySpace date

 

ST. CLAIRE SHORES, Mich., Dec. 13 (UPI) -- A Michigan man who decided to look for romance on MySpace got burglarized instead, police say.

April Evelyn of Oak Park agreed to date Jason Barker of St. Claire Shores on Dec. 1 so she and her accomplice could burglarize him, police said.

She told Barker she wanted to pick him up at his house, the Detroit Free Press reported, and he thought it was normal when she made cellphone calls and sent text messages while they ate at a Chili's Restaurant.

Investigators say Evelyn unlocked Barker's bathroom window while she was at his house, then used her cellphone to tell her accomplice, Vernon Henderson of Mount Clemons, how much time he had to burglarize it.

Evelyn and Henderson are charged with burglary and home invasion.

Sgt. Dave Centala said Henderson let Evelyn know he was through with the burglary: "He actually contacted her and said he was done and she ended the date, and said, 'Something's come up. I've gotta go.'"

To add insult to injury, Barker said he paid for the dinner and Evelyn hit him up for $10 for gas.
