FOREST GROVE, OR. – A Forest Grove, Oregon man faked a residential burglary to cover up his theft of his daughter’s Girl Scout cookie money.

On March 6, 2019, at around 9:53 a.m., Brian Couture called 911 to report that an unknown subject had entered his home through the sliding glass door of his home and a struggle occurred. He said that the suspects fled the home before officers arrived. An extensive search using a K9 was conducted and the alleged suspect was not found. Couture admitted later to investigators that the incident was staged to conceal his theft of money belonging to the Girl Scouts. He also said that he had already spent the stolen funds.

On March 18, 2019, Forest Grove Police arrested Couture, 40, for initiating a false report, and theft in the 2nd degree, both misdemeanors. Couture was booked at the Washington County Jail.
