(Fargo, ND) -- A woman was arrested after entering a Fargo home and refusing to come out Monday.  

Fargo Police were called to an area of 2nd Ave. and 21st St. S. on a report of a stranger in a house that someone was watching for the homeowner. When police arrived around 7pm they used a loud speaker to try to get the woman to come out, even threatening to send a dog in. The woman refused to exit the house but about two hours later, police caught her trying to slip out a back door.

It’s unknown who the woman is or why she was in the house. Police say charges are expected.
