When a St. Paul woman arrived home Sunday evening, she was surprised to find a strange woman sitting on her couch and wearing her daughter’s pants, according to charges filed in Ramsey County District Court on Monday.

Rosalia Portillo, 37, of Inver Grove Heights was charged with one count of first-degree burglary for the Sunday evening incident, which took place in a home on East George Street.

Portillo had also eaten some of the homeowner’s food and taken a pair of her shoes, which the St. Paul woman found in Portillo’s purse, the criminal complaint said.

The homeowner said Portillo had also entered the home without permission in August, leaving the home in disarray and leaving behind her Minnesota picture ID. The homeowner was not present during the August incident but recognized Portillo from the photo on the ID, she said, according to the charges.

Portillo initially told police she was allowed in the home because she was keeping the yard clean and taking care of the plants. Police have responded to other calls involving Portillo in which she said the same thing, the charges said.

Later, Portillo admitted to police that she didn’t know the homeowners and didn’t have permission to be there. She got inside by using a chair to climb though an open window, the charges said.

Her first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
