UPDATE: Ridgewood woman denied pulling the keys from truck and stranding the cable company worker.

A Ridgewood woman embroiled in a dispute with a cable company worker climbed inside the man's Optimum truck and turned off the power to the utility bucket, leaving the worker stranded in mid-air, police said.

The woman, who was not identified, then "removed utility property from the truck and walked away," Police Capt. William Amoruso said in a statement.

Police were called Monday to the intersection of East Ridgewood Avenue and South Pleasant Avenue after receiving a call about a verbal dispute.

Officers found the utility worker stranded in the bucket, Amoruso said.

Police officers patrolling the area found the woman, arrested her and took her to police headquarters, Amoruso said.

She was charged with false imprisonment, harassment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass and released on a summons to appear in court.

Police did not say why the woman was upset with the utility worker.
