The homeowner returned later to find a sliding glass door shattered and several items, including a laptop computer and an iPad, missing, according to police.

The Sheriff’s Office said police received a tip with the culprit’s whereabouts after sharing surveillance images on social media documenting the dirty deed.

That tip led to the arrest early Saturday of Samuel, who police said acknowledged urinating in the driveway but denied breaking into the home.

Jail records show Samuel was booked into the Duval County jail on a felony charge of burglary to a dwelling. She remains in custody in lieu of $50,000 bail.
