Woman Arrested on B&E to Watch Television

(Jersey City, New Jersey) A 30-year-old Jersey City woman, Crystal Kelly, was arrested early Saturday morning for allegedly breaking and entering a residence, apparently to sit and watch television.

Responding officers found Kelly at 1:40 AM in front of the home along with the 56-year-old resident and his wife.

The husband, who had scratch marks on his chest and bruises on his face, told police his 16-year-old heard someone in the house and when he went downstairs he found Kelly sitting in the living room watching television.

When he took hold of Kelly's wrist to put her out she attacked him, grabbing objects and striking him in the head with them, reports said. His wife was also attacked before the family was able to get Kelly out the house, reports said.

Kelly faces charges of aggravated assault, burglary and criminal mischief.

Kelly was booked into custody at the Hudson County Jail. No bail has been set since Kelly has previous pending charges and she was out on bail when allegedly committing the latest offense.
