Dakota Woman Accused of Unlawful Breastfeeding?

(Brookings, South Dakota) A 24-year-old local woman has been arrested for attempting to breastfeed a stranger's infant after breaking into a Brookings home. Police said that alcohol may have played a role in the incident.

The mother called 911 around 5 a.m. Sunday to report that a woman she didn't know had entered her home in Brookings and tried to breast feed her 2-month-old daughter, Brookings Police Lt. Derrick Powers said.

The mother was able to safely take her daughter away from the 24-year-old suspect, who police said then treated the home as her own until police arrived.

The interloper faces a charge of unlawful occupancy.
