“When the female denied him entrance, he said that he would have a patrol car respond to the location,“ police said. “After allowing the male to enter, the male briefly looked around and then began making comments on her physical appearance.”

The man then hugged the girl and, according to police, “made sexually inappropriate comments to her.“ The girl asked more questions about the warrant, prompting the man to leave her home.
