I was not there, but it sounds the call to the cops was much like the kid avoiding the wrath of mom by becoming the victim before the truth be told. Who had the desperate incentive to be the victim here? I think she called first.

I thought something similar to this. Maybe when she first confronted him and thought she was not to be fooled by him not being the owner and then realizing he was serious did she realize she pushed him too far and he was going to call the cops.
I am of the belief that my home is my castle. I think the cops used poor judgement in bringing charges.
Personally, I like the Joe Horn approach using the 'castle defense':

Joe Horn is the kind of neighbor I could only dream of having.
