Woman accused of residential burglary after entering someone else’s Madison home, cooking dinner
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – A woman was arrested late Tuesday night in Madison after entering someone else’s home while they were away and cooking dinner for herself, Madison Police Department reported.
The Madison Police Department said the resident of the home in the 400 block of South Livingston Street came home around 10:30 p.m. to find the lights on. She was reportedly startled as she had been away from home all day. After spotting someone inside walking around, she called police.
Police said when they arrived, they witnessed a woman walking casually around the home. When police ordered her to come to the door, they say she went to the door and calmly told the officers that she had gotten permission to be inside the home from the resident, who she mentioned by name. Police said the suspect was inside the home long enough to inspect the mail, gather details about the resident and to cook herself a dinner of shrimp and pasta that did not belong to her.
In crafting a detailed story, the suspect allegedly told officers that she had met the resident of the home at a coffee shop earlier in the day. The suspect claimed she had been given keys to the house. MPD did not share how she got into the home.
The woman who lived there insisted that she had never met the woman who was found inside her home, according to MPD’s report, adding the suspect did not have permission to be in her home and eating her food.
The suspect was arrested for alleged residential burglary and was booked into the Dane County Jail.
