PINEVILLE, La. (AP) - A Louisiana woman is accused of living in a vacant house and selling its furniture and appliances.

A police news release says she apparently had been living in the house since early January and allegedly had scrapped or sold the missing items.
She was arrested Feb. 19 and released Feb. 20 on $4,750 bond.
It’s not clear whether she has an attorney who could speak for her. Directory assistance did not have a telephone number for her.
