Middletown Woman Rips Up Kid's Halloween Art Over Neighbor Dispute: PD

MIDDLETOWN, CT—A Middletown woman was charged after she destroyed a child's Halloween decoration following a neighbor dispute, according to police.

Police were called to a Main Street apartment Oct. 8 on a report of a woman who tried to enter an apartment. She removed Halloween decorations from a door and ripped them up, according to police.

The victim said that she frequently has confrontations with Dawn Olsen, 62, and that it is disruptive to the building.

Olsen was issued a summons for third-degree criminal mischief and interfering with an officer after she tried to grab the officer's pen while he was writing a citation, according to police.

She tried to close a door in an officer's face and pushed him away before the summons was completed, police said. An officer grabbed her by the arm and pulled her in the hallway to complete the process.
