Niagara Falls Police responded to the 3600 block of Sherwood Drive around 10:50pm on September 1st after reports of an unwanted person.
Upon arrival officers observed a male outside of the female complainant’s home. The complainant explained to officers that the male was a family friend who had been residing at the residence with her.
The male was “noticeably intoxicated, slurring his words and was emanating the smell of fruity alcoholic beverages,” according to the official police incident report. He continually spoke over officers and was extremely argumentative. Due to his behavior, he was detained and placed in the rear of a patrol vehicle.
The complainant further explained that the male had not been living at the house for the last week. However, tonight he came to the house uninvited, pushed the air conditioner out of the window, and climbed through the window to gain entry into the home instead of just knocking on the door.
The male had been warned in the past to not come to the house intoxicated because of how angry and violent he becomes. This has included previous threats of physical harm.
After forcing his way into the home tonight he was asked to leave but refused. When the female complainant attempted to leave and distance herself from the male, he blocked her exit and refused to let her open the front door. After several attempts at pulling on the door and screaming at the top of her lungs she was able to escape to her vehicle and notify police.
However, the male then followed her outside and stayed beside her car - preventing her from leaving the driveway. She told police that the male’s actions placed her in fear for her life and physical safety because of his actions and previous threats.
The male was transported to police headquarters for booking and processing. He was uncooperative during the process and held for arraignment due to the request for an order of protection. No further information is available at this time.
