Man Arrested After Claiming Woman He Met On Craigslist Was a Burglar

        When police got word a Colorado Springs, Colo., home was being invaded by a gun-toting burglar they dispatched five officers  – but it didn’t take long to figure out something was amiss.
Kevin Gaylor, 24, called 911 at 3:13 a.m. Wednesday claiming that he was the victim of a home intrusion, stating “someone is trying to get into the apartment” and he “saw a gun,” said Colorado Springs Police spokeswoman Barbara Miller.

       When police arrived, they found a college student in her early 20s sitting in a truck in front of Gaylor’s apartment along with the man who had driven her there. The two had traveled more than an hour from Denver in the snowy weather.
       “She said [she] called [Gaylor] that night to say, ‘Hey, it’s snowing hard’ but he still wanted her to come,” said Miller.
         The two had met on Craigslist, according to police reports, and had been corresponding for two weeks on Facebook and over the phone.
