A confrontation over topless sunbathing in Connecticut led Monday to charges of breach of peace and risk of injury to a minor against a 28-year-old woman, according to a report.
Police said Anna Halderman, of Norwalk, was arrested Saturday after surrendering to police. The incident happened July 15 at Compo Beach in Westport, Fox 61 Hartford reported.
The investigation began with police saying they got a call from a woman who was at the beach with her young child, the station reported.
“The caller reported to officers that she had observed a female on the beach remove the top portion of her bathing suit to tan,” police said in a news release on Facebook. “Believing that this behavior was inappropriate for a public beach, this individual attempted to confront the woman about what she was doing.”

“Upon speaking with this individual and attempting to convey her concerns, the woman allegedly became belligerent and proceeded to remove the bottom portion of her bathing suit exposing her buttocks,” according to the news release.
The complainant said Halderman appeared to her to be drunk, the news release said.
