No cause for alarm.
March 16
11:44 a.m., Burton Windsor Road, Burton. Male walking while wearing a handkerchief on his head with a “biker” jacket, carrying a backpack, walked up onto my patio earlier today. He asked the caller for a glass of water and lingered in the area for a bit. He has been seen walking in the area before, but came to the house today. White male about 40-50 years old with gray hair and beard and mustache. Male is about 140-145 pounds and 5 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 7 inches tall. A local taxi driver told the caller the male is known to carry a firearm, which he keeps hidden in the woods by Mapleview Church at “The Flats.” The caller did not observe the male with a gun. Deputy unable to locate male.
March 16
8:56 p.m., Murphy Road, Montville. Male states he was driving his ATV home from his father’s house on the roadway when a snowball was thrown at him by a kid. The male states he locked up the brakes and nearly wrecked his vehicle. He then confronted the group of children, who denied throwing the snowball. The male states he can see the kids walking around and he is concerned they may be searching for his house.
March 17
11:09 a.m., Bundysburg Road, Hunts-burg. About an hour ago, while I was gone from the residence, the Amish neighbors where here using the phone. They heard something and saw a man standing sideways near my bedroom. They got scared and went running home. The only thing strange is the outside cat was in the house. Nothing appears to be missing or disturbed. There were no strange cars in the area. They did not say if anyone left the house. The caller and homeowner is inside the house now and doesn’t see anyone.
March 18
12:32 a.m., Plank Road, Montville. I’ve been renting a basement apartment since August and moved in October. I came home and saw a tanning bed in the downstairs area and when I looked up I saw a camera. Deputy will follow-up with the complainant in a few days. The camera that was located was a real time camera that is only battery powered and had a red light showing on back, which may have indicated a low battery. Complainant was the only one home at the time. No one was thought to be viewing the complainant and the complainant was only in the area of the camera today.
THREATENING
March 15
9:56 p.m., Cloverdale Drive, Middle-field. Caller states her soon-to-be-ex-husband and his new girlfriend threatened her today via telephone. This stems from an argument between caller’s 11-year-old daughter and the new girlfriend’s 17-year-old daughter. Caller requesting deputy to still respond tonight and call her when they are on their way. Deputy advised. The complainant advised that her soon-to-be-ex called and told her, “it can be easy or hard.” It is unclear what he is referring to, possibly their divorce hearing. She was given advice to contact her attorney. At this time there were no direct threats of harm to anyone.
