A man and woman are charged with burglary after police said they got into a house, changed the locks and pretended to live there. Police arrested Brittney Brown and Noel Langdon on Tuesday night. A woman said she returned to her house on South 26th Street after work and noticed two people sitting on her couch. "I had to call police because this was the craziest situation I've ever been in," the woman who lives in the house said. The woman who rents the house asked WLKY not to reveal her identity. She said the man and woman changed her locks sometime Tuesday and made themselves comfortable inside her home. "(He) had his feet up on my table, smoking on my couch and his girlfriend, too," she said. The woman showed WLKY a sign she said the couple made that told visitors to go to the side window of the home. She said Brown and Langdon had fake paperwork they claimed gave them ownership of the home. She said it was written on notebook paper. "One said that they were the rightful owner over the property and another one said that I was going to be incarcerated for a long period of time and they were now in possession of my property," she said. The couple reportedly stole or sold some of the woman's belongings. "One of my computers is missing," she said. "A camera or two is gone, just anything I guess that could be easily sold on the corner." The woman said the couple went through her closet and was wearing her clothing when they were taken to jail. She said she also found several items Brown and Langdon left behind. "Drugs, alcohol, all of that," she said. Police said Brown and Langdon told them they had permission from the landlord to be at the house. The couple also reportedly introduced themselves to neighbors. According to arrest documents, police found crushed synthetic marijuana crumpled in a lottery ticket inside Brown's bra. A judge set bond at $10,000 for each suspect.
