Norwich Woman Charged With Home Invasion, Assault: Police

LEDYARD, CT — A Norwich woman was arrested Saturday on a warrant that included a charge for home invasion, according to a statement from Ledyard police. The incident started when an officer attempted to stop a driver who had failed to stop at a four-way intersection, then drove north on Colonel Ledyard Highway.

The officer was able to catch up to the car and conducted a motor vehicle stop in the area of Thomas Road. The driver refused to provide a license, and the officer smelled the odor of marijuana, according to a police statement.

The officer asked the driver to exit the vehicle, but the driver refused the request. Following investigation, the officer discovered that the driver was wanted on a felony warrant out of Norwich.

Arianna Moore, 22, of 92 Washington St. Apt. 3E, was charged with interfering with an officer, criminal impersonation, operating a motor vehicle after suspension, failure to obey a stop sign, and possession of less than 1/2 an ounce of marijuana.

Moore was processed at the Ledyard Police Department and released on a $10,000 bond. She was then released to the Norwich Police Department due to a warrant for home invasion, third-degree assault, risk of injury, sixth-degree larceny, and unlawful restraint.
