Upon arrival, the officer could hear a woman yelling. The officer observed Harris waslk out of the garage of the residence with a white plastic bag in his hand. The officer ordered Harris to the ground and placed him under arrest.

The officer then spoke with the woman, who advised that she was sleeping in her residence when Harris woke her up. She indicated that she did not know how he got into the house. She advised that the doors to her house were locked.
