Niagara Falls Police received a walk-in complaint around 5pm on December 19th of stalking. However, upon being told that there was nothing to write a report on the woman demanded to see a supervisor. As the report stated, “she did not like the answer she was getting.”
The woman stated she was driving on the 190 and, upon exiting onto Niagara Falls Boulevard, a vehicle began to follow her. Her vehicle continued to drive down Niagara Falls Boulevard and travelled about a mile with the vehicle still following her. She then turned into the Key Bank parking lot while the vehicle continued driving down Niagara Falls Boulevard.
The woman was adamant that she was being followed since crossing over the Grand Island Bridge. However, she could not provide a reason as to why she thought this vehicle was “stalking her.” She could provide no description of the driver and had no interaction with said driver.
The woman was advised that it is a busy time of the year for traffic and in all likelihood this vehicle was not following her and just travelling in the same direction. At this point, the woman started rocking back and forth in her seat crying that she “needed a report.”
She was advised that this was not a police matter and that she needed to leave the building. However, she refused to leave the building and kept stating over and over again that she was “not leaving until I get a report.”
Police advised her that if she did not leave they would place her under arrest, which is what ultimately happened. While in the booking area, the woman stated she has PTSD and that police were “refusing to accommodate her.” She also stated that this incident was domestic in nature and kept demanding an advocate.
The woman was booked on one count of trespass and released on an appearance ticket. No further information is available at this time.
