The WCSO reports Williams claimed to have broken into the house in order to use the shower since her own home did not have power or water.

She was charged with aggravated burglary. Williams was also arrested on an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in a separate misdemeanor case.

According to the sheriff’s office, Williams was transported to the Washington County Detention Center and placed on a $21,000 bond. She is set to appear in court Monday.
