On Jan 26, around 9 p.m., a deputy on patrol in the neighborhood spotted a man walking out from between two homes and attempted to stop him.
Last week deputies were called to the Rivington subdivision after a woman reported her next-door neighbor’s camera, on three separate occasions, caught an unknown man looking into her window.
The man then ran away from the deputy into some nearby woods.
