On June 5, the Weston Police Department received a report that an unknown male was ringing the doorbell of a home on Ten O’Clock Lane. The female resident did not answer the door, however, a short time later she heard glass and wood breaking at the back door of the residence, police said.
The victim reported that the same man entered her residence and confronted her, police said. The man forced her to the ground and restrained her, police said.
