At about 2:30 a.m., an employee at a nursing home on Brouillette Court contacted police, saying that a man wearing a black ski-mask and dark clothing was seen running through the parking lot.
On Dec. 9, around 3:30 a.m., 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 Dec. 11, 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.
