POULSBO — A Poulsbo woman was arrested on suspicion of trespassing and burglarizing an Indianola home June 2.

Tamra L. Sellers, 52, of Poulsbo, was charged with residential burglary June 4. According to the report, the owner of the Indianola home returned after a few weeks away to find items out of place, food eaten, the fireplace used and trash around the home. An associate of the caretaker hired by the owner said he saw a woman driving the owner’s car. Mail was left in the car which led to Sellers' address.

When Kitsap County sheriff's deputies arrived at Sellers’ home, she refused to leave the house. The owner of the home said Sellers matched the description of a woman recorded on the house’s video surveillance system. She was booked into Kitsap County Jail on $25,000 bail.
