Colleen Loud, 68, had been sitting at her home in New Hampton eating a bowl of ice cream waiting for a Yankees game to start last October when officers knocked on her door and eventually took her into custody.
Police say that they arrested for being intoxicated with a breath alcohol test reading of just over .08, which is below the legal limit for driving, as well over concern for the condition of her home, in documents one officer accused her of being a 'hoarder.
Loud later shot back in an interview saying: 'My house is a mess, which is none of their business to be honest with you.'
Now, Loud has said she has hired an attorney and plans to sue the town over what she calls a wrongful arrest.
Officer Matt McCue had appeared at Loud's door in October of last year and wanted to know if she had heard a car crash into the bushes outside her mobile home.
After telling McCue she had not, she closed the door on the officer and returned to watching her baseball game.
Following this, Sergeant Asa Johnson is said to have knocked on her door and claimed he could smell alcohol.
Loud told the Boston Globe that she had stopped by a local bar for a few beers after work prior to the officers appearing at her home.
Johnson made her take an alcohol test and found that her breath alcohol content was just over .08 percent, the legal limit for driving.
Loud told the newspaper she remembers Johnson saying: 'We are taking you into police custody.
'I'm sitting on my recliner waiting for a baseball game. The next minute you're taking me into custody. What the hell.'

Police over-reach. People can get drunk in their own home, and also live in their own mess.
If concerned, they could have alerted a community social worker to check on her. Someone not acting like a LEO.
So…. They arrested her for “watching baseball while intoxicated”? That’s a new one.
Oh how we burned in the camps ...
More discussion here: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/4164715/posts
I thought she would look older and less attractive.
smelt?
Is this officer still working as a Cop?
This is crazy. Maybe he didn’t like the way she shut the door after being questioned about a car in the neighborhood.
So many things were done wrongly here.
A Eww Yuck Skankees fan in New Hampshire?
Off with her head!
She drove home intoxicated?
That wasn’t mentioned in a prior article.
Throw the book at her!
Why would you assume that is a recent picture?
She drove home intoxicated and was still above the limit at home.
She’s got an excellent case. They’ll pay her to go away. They won’t want this to go to trial.
“Smelt?”
UK Daily Mail. It’s their way....
There is something about those redheads. What could it be?
In the reports, which have been obtained by the Boston Globe, McCue and Johnson said Loud’s home was filled with ‘mountains of trash’ and they took her in to protect her from it.
A very possible outcome is that being drunk, smoking and that house she had a very high probability of killing her self.
What would the discussion have been then. Officers negligent for lettin here stay in the trailer.................................
The article and pictures have an agenda. Do your own thinking. get both sides of the story.
"I was drinking shots and beers, AT HOME, IN MY RECLINER, while waiting for the game to start."
Prove otherwise, beyond a reasonable doubt.
So we can take two things away from this article:
Don't talk to the police, and
DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE!
“Lady, if we ever catch you watching the Yankees play baseball again, we are calling the SWAT team and armored personnel carrier.”
It's not hard to prove something when the suspect admits to doing it. This woman is making it pretty easy for the cops and prosecutors.
