Police this month arrested a 42-year-old New Canaan woman and charged her with second-degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.
At about 3:25 p.m. on July 2 (a Tuesday), officers responded to a Hoyt Farm Road residence on a report of an uninvited neighbor in the home, police said.
The arrested woman also lives on Hoyt Farm Road, according to a police report.
She was identified as a trespasser, the report said.
Through an investigation, police established probable cause to bring the misdemeanor charges, it said.
Under state law, a person is guilty of second-degree criminal trespass when, “knowing that such person is not licensed or privileged to do so, such person enters or remains in a building,” among other reasons.
The woman was released after promising to appear July 16 in state Superior Court.
