'Cleaning Fairy' Pleads Guilty in Court
Elyria woman was charged with burglary for cleaning a Westlake house without being hired.
Perhaps the part about leaving her contact information wasn't a good idea.
Susan Warren, 53, of Elyria, made local headlines this summer as the 'cleaning fairy'.
According to Westlake Police, Warren entered the Dover Center Road home sometime between 9 and 10:45 a.m. on May 22. She did some light house cleaning while a resident slept, and left behind a $75 bill for her services and her contact information on a napkin.
