RANGELEY – A New Hampshire woman in town for a wedding was jailed early Sunday after she apparently drank too much and broke into the kitchen at the Rangeley Inn where she was a guest, police said.

Local police arrested Abigail S. Edmund, 23, of Northfield, N.H., on charges of burglary, theft and criminal mischief, Chief Phil Weymouth said Monday.

An inn employee heard noises at about 1:15 a.m. Sunday in the kitchen area and spotted Edmund with luncheon meats and brownies.

She was also heating up pasta, the chief said.

She ran out of the kitchen and police were called, Weymouth said.

The woman had gained entry to the kitchen by breaking a window in the entrance door to the bar and lounge area, the chief said. Officer Jared Austin searched the interior of the inn but couldn’t find the woman.

When he went outside, he found a cell phone. He called a number on it and discovered it was Edmund’s phone, Weymouth said.

At 4:30 a.m. she had returned to the inn and was sitting in the lobby, but when someone spotted her, she ran again, Weymouth said. She eventually was found in a different room than the one she was registered to, he said.

She had a cut on her hand that matched the broken glass in the entry door window, Weymouth said.

Edmund was taken to the Franklin County Jail in Farmington. She posted $500 cash bail on Sunday to be released. She has a court date of Oct. 27 in Farmington.
