The woman awoke to find an unidentified male in her bedroom. When she confronted him, he fled out the rear door, police said. The suspicious individual is described as a black male, approximately 6 feet in height and 160 pounds in weight. He had short braids in his hair and was wearing a dark zip-up hoodie with black pants.
