SUMMARY OF INCIDENT: On 12/01/2022, Officers were dispatched to a report of an individual dressed in all black attempting to break into a residence. Upon arrival, Officers did not observe the reported offense. Officers spoke with multiple witnesses who advised the individual was attempting to get into apartment #3 of 72 Maple Street. The landlord advised nobody was allowed to be in apartment #3, and the door was pad locked shut.
Officers, and VSP forced entry into the apartment and did not make contact with anyone inside. However there were signs of attempted forced entry, as there was a broken window on the porch door, and a metal tool used to cut through the same door. We were unable to get onto the porch, as the door was padlocked shut.
Officers were called back to the residence a short while later, as it was found Heather Smith was hiding out on the porch. Key holder of the apartment building found Smith hiding under furniture on the porch as he was attempting to re-secure the door to the apartment. Smith admitted to breaking the window and using a tool to cut through the door on the porch to get into the apartment. Smith was issued paperwork back in the beginning of November stating she abandoned the apartment, giving her no right or privilege to enter the apartment.
Smith was arrested for attempted Unlawful Trespass of an Occupied Dwelling, Unlawful Mischief and Having or Making Burglar's Tools. Smith was flash cited for the next business day.
