Influencer and model Olivia Ponton was the one who alerted police after Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow’s home was burglarized on Monday night, Dec. 9.
Per a police report obtained by PEOPLE, around 8:14 p.m., Ponton, 22, reported the break-in at the Anderson Township residence, telling authorities that when she arrived she noticed a “shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked.”
Ponton, who has nearly 3 million followers on Instagram and 7.6 million on TikTok, called her mother, “prompting the 911 call,” the report adds.
Once deputies arrived at the property, they cleared the home and the Criminal Intelligence Section (CIS) captured pictures and evidence of the scene.
Police note that Burrow, 28, “was out of town” and couldn’t report what items had been taken. Ponton, described as an employee for Burrow in the police report, provided a list of what was “possibly missing.”
Authorities are also checking with neighbors to see if surveillance footage captured video of any potential suspects. CIS is investigating, the report states.
TMZ was first to report.
