Woman breaks into Madison home to cook shrimp pasta

On a Tuesday evening in Madison, Wisconsin, a woman named Joanna Kelly Lee was arrested after breaking into a resident's home. The incident occurred around 10:40 p.m., shortly after the homeowner returned at approximately 10:30 p.m. to find the lights on and an unfamiliar person inside. Upon police arrival, they observed Lee casually moving around the house and responding to their commands at the door. Lee claimed to the officers that she had permission to be in the home, even mentioning the resident's name and fabricating a story about meeting her at a coffee shop where she supposedly received keys to the house. Authorities later discovered that she had gone through the resident's mail to learn her name and concoct her alibi. Despite Lee's calm demeanor and detailed explanation, the homeowner firmly stated that she had never met Lee and did not grant her permission to enter or use her belongings. This led to Lee's arrest on charges of burglary and criminal trespass. Currently, Lee is being held at the Dane County Jail as the police continue their investigation into the incident. The case raises concerns about home security and the lengths to which individuals may go to invade others' privacy.
