Police: Albany woman redecorated home without permission

An Albany woman is accused of redecorating a Germantown home without permission.

Mackenzie Golden, 44, illegally entered an occupied home on March 13 and took photos off the wall, strung up lights and hung blankets in the windows, State Police said. She ran away when confronted by the homeowner, who she did not know.

Troopers found Golden parked behind a nearby residence.

Police said they did not know Golden’s motive.

Golden was charged with second-degree burglary, grand larceny, possession of burglary tools and endangering the welfare of a child. She was arraigned in Claverack Town Court and is due back in court on March 20.
