Hungry prowler arrested after breaking into Wisconsin home to cook ‘shrimp and pasta dinner’: police

Someone’s a sucker for pasta.

A Wisconsin woman found herself behind bars after she allegedly broke into a home with enough time to cook herself a nice pasta dinner.

The Madison Police Department arrested Joanna Kelly Lee after officers found the peckish prowler making herself comfortable inside a home she had just broken into, Fox News reported.

“Lee provided a detailed story about how she met the resident at a coffee shop earlier and had been given keys to the house,” police told the outlet. “Lee had been in the house long enough to cook herself a shrimp and pasta dinner.”

The resident refuted Lee’s story telling police she was a stranger and was never given permission to enter her home or eat her food.

Investigators later found that Lee invented the story after stifling through the resident’s mail, Fox reported.

Lee was charged with burglary and criminal trespass and is being held at the Dane County Jail in Madison.
