A Foxworth resident received a scare Monday night when a stranger snuck up on her at her home.
Angel Jordan of Division Street which is next to West Marion Primary School in Foxworth, was sitting in the doorway of her home with her 1-year-old daughter, Karleigh, at her feet. Jordan said she was looking at her phone when suddenly her daughter started screaming. Jordan said she looked up and saw a stranger about five feet away from them. The stranger never made a noise.
“I could not believe he got that close to me and I didn’t hear him,” Jordan said.
She grabbed her daughter, started hollering and ran inside the house. Her husband, Shane, who was inside the house, ran outside after the individual, but the individual got away, she said.
A report was filed with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and deputies arrived on scene to investigate. One of the deputies told Jordan that there had been an arrest not far from the area a short time before and most likely the individual had already been picked up.
While no one was harmed, Jordan said there have been problems in the area. She said people walk up and down the roads at all hours of the night. Jordan said one of her neighbors has even found crack pipes in their yard.
She said she does not know what the intruder’s intentions were, but she felt by the fact he never made a sound to alert her of his presence that he wasn’t there for any good reason.
Jordan said she knows people have the right to walk up and down the road, but once someone crosses another person’s property line, then something needs to be done.
