Incident 3100 Veteran

The following was shared by one our residents from 3100 Veteran

"Last week, my daughter came home from a friend's house at 3:00 a.m. and, before coming inside, sat on our front porch having a cigarette. A man, white in his thirties, wearing dark shirt and hoodie, came walking down the street, headed south. He saw my daughter and asked her for a cigarette. She said she did not have one. He tried to engage her in conversation and she stood up to go inside. He walked quickly up the driveway and said he needed a place to sleep. He seemed to be intoxicated (but not homeless) . My daughter said she had to go inside and turned to the door. He put his hand on her shoulder and asked if he could come in she told him he was scaring her and he needed to stop or she would yell and her father was inside. He put his hand on her mouth and said he would hurt her if she did that and he just wanted to come in. She hit him in the head with the cell phone she was holding in her hand. This caused him to let go of her and she quickly came inside. She saw him go down the driveway and walk away. Unfortunately, she did not tell me about this until the next day. We went to the Pacific Division and made a Police report."
