Who Are You?

A suspicious man was in the driveway of a woman's home at 9:26 a.m. on the 100 block of Ann Street. The woman had just returned home. The man told her he was looking for an Ann Colvax and thought he was at the right house. He claimed he had worked on the woman's house in the past, according to an initial report.

The man left, drove up and down the street and then drove away. The officer will try to contact the registered owner of the vehicle and follow up if needed.
