A Neshoba County woman was arrested and charged in connection with a burglary near the Pearl River community last week.

The woman, Jennifer Roberts, 44, of 10150 Road 2608, was arrested and charged with burglary of a dwelling, according to Neshoba County Sheriff Eric Clark.

Family members of the victim quickly identified Roberts as a suspect and she was tracked to a residence on Highway 16 East where she was served a warrant for burglary at about 4 p.m. that same day.
