TAYLORSVILLE — A man and woman who walked into an unlocked Taylorsville home, spent time watching TV, taking showers and drinking hot chocolate.

Police were later able to track down and arrest Anthony Hoskins and Amanda Booth through a 7-Eleven receipt they left behind.

Hoskins and Booth were charged Monday with criminal trespass, a class A misdemeanor, for the Nov. 8 incident at a home near 3700 West and 5200 South. Police say Hoskins entered the house through an unlocked side door, then let Booth in through the front door.

The pair, who live in Taylorsville, are not accused of stealing anything, but police say their activities were uncovered when a remodeling worker told the homeowner that some carpet had been stolen. A 7-Eleven bag with a receipt inside was also discovered.

Police traced Booth through the receipt, which was drawn on her Utah Horizon EBT card, charges filed in 3rd District Court state. Booth, 26, and Hoskins, 39, both admitted to police that after going to the convenience store, they both entered the home and relaxed.
