Jeanette Wright, age 32, of the city of Poughkeepsie, was arrested on Saturday, March 6, after a state trooper responded to Stony Ford Road in Campbell Hall for a burglary in progress, said Trooper Steven Nevel.
When the trooper arrived, he spotted Wright inside the residence. When she came to a side door where the trooper met her Wright said she had entered the wrong house and attempted to walk away, Nevel said.
The trooper told her that she could not leave. At that point, Wright began to scream expletives at the trooper and said that she was leaving and that the trooper could not make her stay.
