In the early morning hours of May
8, (around 3:35am) a homeowner in the 13700 block of 64th Dr SE in
The Falls, heard suspicious noises around her home. The noises sounded like
someone was trying to open a downstairs door or window. She saw a tall, darkly
dressed person walking between her lawn and her neighbor’s house.
She called 911. Two deputies
responded. One deputy checked her property and the neighbor’s property. He
noted a chair propped up against the neighbor’s fence, indicating someone had
hopped over the fence.
She informed the deputies of a
suspicious person lingering around her house on Sunday morning, May 6. A young
male, 19 to 21 years old, who she had not seen before, rode a skateboard in
front of her house. He stopped, lit a cigarette, and then proceeded to linger
in the area for several minutes. As he hung around, he appeared to be texting
while he was looking at the house across the street. He then sat in front of
the neighbor’s house to the west for several more minutes, then left. The male
was tall, thin, with clean cut short brown hair. He had a pierced left ear
which appeared to have a diamond stud earing. He wore a long, white T shirt
(not tucked in) and black long basketball shorts with an Addidas logo in
silver.
While the two incidents may not be
connected, they could indicate that someone was checking out the neighborhood
for easy targets to visit a few days later.
