Deputies made contact with 33-year old Julianna Josephine Ciano in the neighboring townhome where they found a Halloween type mask on the bed and a blond wig under the bed, according to the arrest report. Ciano was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling, trespassing in an occupied structure and criminal mischief with an enhancement of wearing mask or disguise while committing an offense.
