The incident happened just before 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 16 in Rensselaer County, at a home in Brunswick.
New York State Police were contacted by the homeowner, who told troopers that a woman had entered their home without permission and used the shower.
When troopers arrived, they found the suspect, 34-year-old Jessica Wise, of Troy, still inside the bathroom.
As they were arresting her, troopers found her to be in possession of a glass smoking device containing drug residue, police said.
Nobody was injured during the incident and there was no damage done to the home.
Wise is charged with second-degree criminal trespass and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
She was released with an appearance ticket to the Brunswick Town Court on Wednesday, July 12 and was later released from custody.
