Can I call the cops?

Question

I was just wondering if I can call the cops on a man that drives by my house about 2 or 3 times a day, its just happened in the last week or two and about a year ago this same man tried to grab me on the street and pull me into his apartment. He is a drunk and everytime he sees me he always comes up to me and he tries to find stuff out about me. We moved a year ago and he kept asking me where we were moving and I said out of town we only moved to the other side of town now I'm worried hes found out where we live and I have a 1 year old daughter and I'm laying awake at night worrying about why he keeps driving by?Also I had an older black truck completly tinted drive by tonight and the guy driving the truck was driving so slow and wouldn't stop looking in at our house. So Now I'm worried its one of his friends. I need some help on what the cops will do or if they will even do anything or just tell me to keep an eye on it. I'm also worried if I get cops involved I dont want them going to him telling him who it was because that might put an even bigger target on me?!?! Thanks for anyones help,

Answer 1

You need to call the cops and you need to go and get a restraining order.  This man has become fixated on you and could cause you or your family harm.  He sounds seriously mentally unstable and those people can be very dangerous.  

Answer 2

Definitely notify the police. Explain the whole situation to them including your previous encounter, your concern for your daughter, makes, models, and descriptions of the vehicles, and any small piece of information you can think of.  They may put a unit in your area and/or give you some different options on what you can do.

Answer 3

If he so much as touches you, it can be considered an assault. Call the police.

Answer 4

Please DO call the cops especially if this creep tried to basically kidnap you.  Did you ever report that to the police?  If you didn't, you need to tell them about it now and let them know it's the same guy.  They will go talk to this guy and tell him to quit driving by your house if he doesn't live in the area.  You need to let this weirdo know that you aren't going to stand for his c**p.  I don't think you'll make this worse by reporting it.  You are in much more danger NOT reporting it.  Trust me.  Get the plate # of this more recent vehicle as well.  DO THIS ASAP!  If you have to, get a restraining order!

Answer 5

it kinda sounds as if he may be a stalker- they have laws now, that protect us from stalkers. just go and tell the police- they will take care of the rest. there is no need for you to live in fear- he can be stopped. hope you get this taken care of real soon.
