Sacramento Woman Discovers Daughter's Ex-Boyfriend Hiding In Closet

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Donna Brown still can't believe what she found hiding in her daughter's room - her daughter's ex-boyfriend.

"He was in the closet," Donna told CBS13 on Tuesday.

It was just after midnight Monday on Arrowrock Road in Sacramento when she got an eerie feeling.

"Yes it scared me. I felt in my spirit somebody was in my house, that's why I kept walking around," she said.

She found her daughter's bedroom window wide open and her dog Kato peering inside.

"And my dog is hanging in the window," she said.

But her daughter was out of town, and the pitbull was not happy.

"He was growling," Donna said.

Donna continued walking through the house wondering why she felt so uneasy until she heard a cell phone.

"I heard a beeping sound in my daughter's room," she said.

She opened the closet and saw legs and shoes hiding behind her daughter's clothes.

"I said, "He's in the closet!"

She ran and yelled to others in the house for help and realized "I locked him in my house! I locked him in my house!"

But he got out after a short struggle with the family.

Donna describes the ex-boyfriend a known trouble maker and possible danger to the family.

"I don't know, I just get a bad feeling about him," she said.

After she called 911, Donna says police scoured the neighborhood looking for him, even using a helicopter, but didn't locate him.

She believes he's a disgruntled predator looking to hurt her daughter.

"That's what I'm afraid of," she said. "What would you do to my daughter? I'm afraid for her."

Donna's got a weapon now. "This stick is if he comes back to my house," she said, holding a large limb.

He'll be held to answer to the stick and a dog named Kato.

Donna told CBS13 she hopes she doesn't have to use the big stick, but that she'll do anything to keep her family safe.

Police say they have yet to arrest the suspect, who is described as black, in his 20s, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, 130 pounds and wearing a yellow ball cap and flannel shirt on the night of the incident.
