  1. Friday night august 4, 2018 at about 12:30 at night my wife screamed , there is someone trying to break into our bedroom window. I woke up in a deep sleep and saw a man pounding on my bedroom window, with his flashlight shinning in our window at my wife and me. my wife ran down the hallway. I ran to the window and there were four sheriffs and a young kid looking at me. I was so scared all I could do was say what —— is going on here. the one sheriff said we were trying to wake you up so you can identify this kid, that said he lives here. why would you bring him to my window all around the back of my house, I told the police I have never seen him before. we were so scared of what happened. I called the Lancaster sheriffs watch commander and asked him for there help. five calls no one will respond to this ???? this is bad stuff.
