Police arrested three Craig women last week who they say broke into an acquaintance's home and stole prescription drugs.

Kathy Lee Carson, 27, Maria Ann Saenz, 25, and Charity Lynn Rasmussen, 21, were all arrested by Craig Police on Friday night.

All three are charged with felony burglary, felony retaliation against a victim and misdemeanor harassment.

Carson, who also goes by Kathy Rowton, also is charged with felony theft and misdemeanor criminal mischief.

Craig Police spokesman Lt. John Forgay said police received a report that the three women, along with a man, stole the drugs around June 20.

The alleged victim, an unidentified female, was storing items for one of the women, Forgay said.

When the four went to retrieve the item, the woman wasn't home, but they went into the home anyway, Forgay said.

When the homeowner ar----rived, Carson was in the house with the man, and Saenz and Rasmussen were outside, Forgay said.

Saenz and Rasmussen tried to stall the homeowner from going into the home, Forgay said.

When the homeowner went into the home, she forced all four to leave, Forgay said.

The homeowner then realized some prescription drugs and other property had been taken, Forgay said.

The homeowner then called police, who had warrants issued for the three women and the man, Forgay said.

Police think the three women also harassed the alleged victim, Forgay said.

Police arrested Saenz and Rasmussen at a local bar Friday night and arrested Carson in the 100 block of Victory Way.

All three are being held in Moffat County Jail on $30,000 bail each.
