A woman who called police claiming she was the victim of a home invasion was arrested herself after police found the heroin she d been doing when she hallucinated the people in her home Friday in north suburban Skokie. Officers responded to a possible home invasion at 1:30 p.m. in the 9500 block of Leamington Street, when resident Elina Sarkisian told authorities there were two unwanted people inside her home, according to Skokie Police Sgt. David Pawlak.

Sarkisian, 22, came outside while officers surrounded the home and searched it, Pawlak said.

No one was inside, but police did discover an off-white powdery substance suspected to be heroin on her kitchen counter, divided into three lines. A pipe and cocaine was also found, Pawlak said.

When she reentered the home, she told police that there had been ten people inside the home that she didn t recognize and confessed to using drugs.

She said she d smoked crack cocaine earlier in the day and used heroin to bring her back down, said Pawlak. She said she believed she 'hallucinated' the two subjects and they were not real.

She was booked into Cook County Jail on Dec. 17 after a judge ordered her held on $50,000 bond.
