Authorities say a Portland woman burglarized the home of her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend — then used a garden hose to flood the place.

Chelsey Lynn Iida, 31, made off with a shoulder bag full of clothes and shoes she pilfered from Leticia Perales’ duplex Sept. 13, court records allege.

The new girlfriend then walked back to the residence in the 8500 block of Northeast Milton Street, grabbed a hose and placed it through an open window, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Water flowed freely for the next two hours, investigators said. A neighbor’s surveillance video captured Iida walking back and forth between Perales’ house and a car, prosecutors said.

Contacted later that evening by police, the new girlfriend “made unsolicited statements that she had screwed up and that her karma was screwed up over what happened,” court records allege.

Iida admitted to police she stuffed the hose into the ex-girlfriend’s house and turned it on, according to the probable cause affidavit. But she insisted she didn’t break into the house and burglarize it.

Police arrested her on suspicion of both, and a grand jury indicted her Thursday on three counts of first-degree burglary and three counts of criminal mischief.

A woman Friday morning answered a phone number for Iida listed in jail records and identified herself as Chelsey. After a reporter identified himself, she then told him: “I think you might have the wrong person.”
