Last night/early this morning, around 2am, one of my dogs alerted on a possible prowler in my side/back yard and then up on my porch. He was a young caucasian man, thin, perhaps in his 20s, red hair/curly facial hair, light eyes and wearing a black baseball cap backwards. Claimed to be related to people who haven’t lived here for a few years (Karen & Greg – don’t remember the last name). Claimed he had been jumped and was being chased by somebody with a gun. My husband scared him off eventually,and we did have the police out looking for him, though I don’t know if they caught him. We live down the hill from new Westside School (used to be Hillcrest Presbyterian.) Wanted to give folks in the area the a heads up. He was shouting at one point for “Joseph” or “Josie.”
Please be aware and call SPD if you suspect somebody is casing the area.
