MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis woman was arrested after she and her boyfriend allegedly broke into the home of her boss.

She was located a week later and charged with aggravated burglary.

According to police, Willis’ boyfriend Robert Williams was also arrested after he admitted to breaking open a door at the home and then waiting as a lookout.

He was arrested on Wednesday and also charged with aggravated burglary.
