According to the inci dent report, the homeowner returned home from work to find his front door had been kicked in. A witness reportedly told deputies that he saw a suspicious vehicle in the area earlier in the day. This vehicle was described as a white, long wheel base truck, possibly a Chevrolet, with a ball hitch on the end of it. The vehicle also had what appeared to be a plastic type bag on the tag in an apparent attempt to cover it up. The driver was described as a white male in his mid to upper thirties. In another incident, a deputy was dispatched to the CVS in Hull last week after two women reported they had been threatened by someone. According to the incident report, the male offender had left the scene when the deputy arrived, but one of the victims reported that she, her two children and her sister had come to the CVS to meet her sister’s boyfriend, when the sister’s ex-boyfriend showed up. According to the report, the ex-boyfriend began to cuss and threaten the women, running after their car. He also stated that he would kick his ex-girlfriends @#% and kill her.

The women then drove away and called 911. They also reported that he has assaulted the ex-girlfriend in the past and threatened “to kill her whole fam ily.” Both victims were explained the Temporary Protection Order and war rant processes.

She told the men they didn’t “owe her a thing” and that she was going to call her daughter. She went to the phone and when she returned to the door, the men had vanished.
