Teen Arrested on Breaking and Entering Charges Placed on House Arrest

An 18-year-old re-arrested over the weekend on burglary-related charges was placed on house arrest Monday following an arraignment hearing.

Keri L. Spear, 18, of 62 Forest St., Milford, was arraigned in Milford District Court on one count of breaking and entering, two counts of larceny and one count of malicious destruction of property. This is her second breaking and entering charge this month.

District Judge Robert B. Calagione released Spear on her own recognizance. He ordered her to remain drug and alcohol free and said she will be allowed to travel 15 minutes outside the home to work. If she commits another offense, Spear will be held in a county jail for 60 days without bail, he said.

Spear was arrested by Milford Police detectives Saturday, after a witness told police she was coming out of a house basement, when the resident was not at home.

Police responded to Spear's home, and later arrested her. She is accused of taking jewelry and cash from the home.

Earlier in June, police said she tried to enter a home on Lantern Lane. In that case, the homeowner had not left the residence, and saw her leave with a young man in a car.
