53-year-old Babbie McDowell was identified as the person who tried breaking into Rita Wilson’s Hillside Road residence on August 7th. Rita and Glenda Wilson called 911, stating that an unknown white woman had damaged their front and back doors but could not make entry. They further explained that she walked down the street toward the fire station on Broadmoor Drive. Responding officers observed that the backdoor had been slightly opened and stopped by three chain-door locks. Shortly after, the police located McDowell in front of the fire station. McDowell appeared to be experiencing some kind of mental episode during their interaction. McDowell stated she believed a man she knew was inside Wilson’s residence. Despite this, Rita and Glenda advised officers that they did not know her. Under Miranda, McDowell admitted to trying to shoulder the doors open. McDowell was then taken into custody for aggravated criminal trespass and vandalism.
