Intoxicated Elmhurst Woman Climbs Through Neighbor's Bedroom Window, Leaves Purse Behind: Cops

An intoxicated Elmhurst woman allegedly broke through a window screen and climbed into a neighbor’s bedroom thinking she was entering her own apartment.

The woman who actually does live in the Spring Road apartment returned home about 9 a.m. Monday and noticed that “her bedroom window (was) opened and the screen to the window was ripped,” police said.

An officer reportedly spotted a purse near the window and tracked it back to another Spring Road apartment resident, 23-year-old Madeline Short.

“Upon speaking to (Short), she stated she believes while she was intoxicated she entered her neighbor’s apartment through the bedroom window believing it was her own apartment,” police said.

Short was charged with disorderly conduct, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of cannabis. She was released on bond.
