A man who prowled outside a woman's bathroom after she had showered eluded Palo Alto police on New Year's Eve, police Sgt. Patty Lum said.
The incident occurred at about 8:30 p.m. in the 2100 block of Ash Street between College and Oxford avenues and El Camino Real. The woman noticed that a man in a white knit-style cap was outside her window, and he seemed to be peering at her, Lum said. She immediately called police.
Officers set up a perimeter, but they found no trace of the man despite tracking him with a canine unit. Police have no other description of the man and no other information is available at this time, Lum said.Are you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition?

Posted by annoyed, a resident of another community, on Jan 4, 2013 at 9:21 pm It has nothing to do with the crime but the least you can do is recognize that Patty Lum is a Lieutenant, not a Sergeant. Just another example of the shoddy reporting by this agency.
