Sandy McGriff, 52, said today that she had seen two men on the side of the Serita Agnew's east Oak Cliff house on Friday. When she went to check it out, she saw a broken kitchen window.

McGriff said she made a foolish mistake and went in through the window to make sure Agnew's belongings were secure.

"I used poor judgment," McGriff said from her Grand Prairie house.

One of Agnew's neighbors called police, and when officers arrived, they found McGriff carrying out two fur coats. Agnew's laptop computer and several purses were in McGriff's Jaguar, parked in the driveway.

McGriff said she was trying to protect valuables in case the men came back.

"I thought I was helping," she said.

McGriff, is charged with burglary of a habitation and resisting arrest. She was released from the Dallas County Jail Saturday on bail totaling $26,000.

Was her husband's life insurance not enough? I think most people would call the cops if they were worried about someones property (like the neighbors).

She would have failed a drug test, she was high as a kite on the news interview and even admitted she was flying on pain killers.
