At approximately 2:30am that morning, an employee at a nursing home on Brouillette Court contacted police, advising that a male wearing a black ski-mask and dark clothing was seen running through the parking lot.

On December 9th, 2018 at approximately 3:30am, a woman was in her Demarse Court home when her dogs began to bark. She observed a man outside of her bedroom window staring at her. When noticed by the woman, the man ran off in an unknown direction.

On December 11th, 2018, at a similar time to the previous reports, police attended a Fieldcrest Lane home, where a woman reported seeing a shadowy figure in her rear patio window and hearing footsteps on her deck while on the phone with police.

The suspect in these incidents is being described as a white male approximately six feet tall and 200 pounds with a husky build. He is believed to be between thirty and fifty years of age and wearing dark clothing.
