Cops at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office revealed that a maintenance worker heard a bark and spotted a black suitcase before realizing someone was inside.

Officers were scrambled to the property and said Villa was wearing one of the homeowner’s dresses.

Cops said that Villa, of Fort Myers, had also brought her small dog with her.

They said Villa told officers at the scene she owned the home and had bought it.

But officers called the actual homeowner and learned that Villa did not own the lavish property.

It remains unclear how Villa managed to make her way into the property.

Cops have not revealed a motive as their probe continues.

Locals have told how surprised they were when cops swooped on the neighborhood.

Bruce Broskie, who lives in the area, told the NBC affiliate WBBH: “I don’t know where she thought she was gonna stay or how long she thought she was gonna stay ‘cause all these houses have people that check in them all the time.’”

The average home price on Hickory Boulevard is more than $1.1million, per Greater Fort Myers.

Hickory Boulevard is popular with those who want to enjoy living on the Gulf Coast.

Villa was booked into jail on September 19 and remains in custody, per police records.

She has been hit with a raft of charges, including resisting an officer, larceny, fraud, and burglary.

A hearing for those charges is set to take place on October 23, according to cops.
