Should I call the police ??!!

[FlowersChild]

Some of you remember that a guy attacked me back in Jan. > As I was walking home today the same guy pulled up ( this time I am sure it's the same guy and it's not the guy who works at Wendy's. Some guy who kinda looked like the guy who attacked me came into the store and I thought that might be the guy who attacked me but I was not sure. But now that I saw this guy today I know it's not the guy who works at Wendy's )

I hate to waste police time because the guy did not do anything to me but just say " how are you doing " and I said " Fine " and I kept walking. But when I saw the guy back in Jan. what he did to me was close to rape !!! So should I call the police ??!!

If at all in doubt.... CALL!!!!!

Did you call the police the first time? I don't remember.

Yes I did call the police the first time.

If you feel uncomfertable than it's NOT RIGHT.... Even if you are wrong it never hurts. (Listening to my gym teacher go on about this helps)

 

[Tantor]

I'd call just so they have it on record at least.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Do you have a restraining order or anything on him? Did he go to jail or anything? The reason I ask is because him just passing and saying "what's up" is pretty harmless. What exactly are you wanting the police to do? Did he come to your workplace and seek you out or did you pass on the street?

Whatever the case, sorry you had to see this guy again.

This might be a pattern of behavior - I hate to say it but I'd be worried that he was following you. I'd call the police.

I am not sure if you have any cause to call the police because someone said "hi" to you. I know you have a past history with this person, but nothing happened this time.

Now, if you start to notice that this person keeps "showing up" where you are, or seems to be following you home or whatever...in other words, stalking you...then I'd call the police, explain the situation, and ask their advice as to what to do.

If he's bothered you, he probably has and will bother other people too.

Did you tell your parents that you saw him again? And that he spoke to you? If they think it's a good idea to call the police, then you should.

Yes and I was walking one way and he was driving the other way so when he saw me and kinda stops the car in the road and says " how are you " I just say " fine " and I keep walking. I did not want to talk to him and he just drives off.

But the thing is I think he turned around because after I walked to where I needed to cross the street to my house I saw that silver car so I am pretty sure he turned around to see me. I was not going to cross the street while he was waiting to cross the street out of the fear that he might try to run me over ( I don't think he would really do that but just to be safe ) so I waited for that car to turn into the street and go a little ways before I crossed the steet.

For some reason I was thinking he might have had a white car when he attacked me back in Jan. But I was so freaked out back then that I really forget what color the car was and I guess white came into my mind. But also maybe he has 2 cars ?

I don't think he broke the law today ( well maybe he hurt someone else ) but he broke the law in the past. Also yes I am curious if he has hurt anyone else ? What if he looks for 8 year old children ??!! If he had the guts to come after me I am sure he has the guts to go after an 8 year old child !!!!

I am sorry, I don't know you flowerschild. I am not sure what to say because i think it depends on a lot of things. How old you are and how old this guy is, do you live with parents or room mates or alone... also is it odd you saw him where/when you did, or would that be something you might expect. Last of all did he know you called the police in January? Because if he did, well any normal person would go out of their way to avoid someone after something like that. Saying "hi" is not threatening normally but someone you acussed of attacking you where the police were involved, that strikes me as odd at best.

It never hurts to call the police and have them log it. If you ever need an order of protection it will help to have things like this on record. Don't worry about bothering them, it is their job. You have a right to feel safe. Every person does.

Ok, I just read your latest post. I would call the police. It sounds like he was watching you and at the very least wanted to scare you.

ITA! You should call the police to let them know about this.

So sorry this happened to you, FC!

 

[bengalbelle]

So when this guy attacked you previously, did the police do anything or could you not identify him? Now that you have seen him again, did you get his license plate #? Do you have a good description to go by? Did you get the make and model of the car? Without those things the police would have a hard time identifying the man. With your previous report and this new information, they should at least be able to question him.

If someone physically attacked me and I met up with him again, I'd get every shred of information I could, get it to the police, and at the very least get a restraining order.

 

[Marseeya]

FC, it wouldn't hurt to call! Better safe than sorry.

This guy has no business speaking to you.

 

[Keli]

Do you know this person? In other words, were you able to identify him by name or some other way that the police were able to find him? I'm assuming from your post that he was never arrested for attacking you in Jan, is this the case? If the police were never able to find him then I would definitely call them and tell them every thing about your recent encounter with him.

 

[FlowersChild]

Well I ended up calling the police and a cop is on his way. So when he/she gets her I will just talk to them and see what happens. Well the guy at Wendy's is cleared now because I know it was not him. When I guy this guy today I could tell it was not the guy who works at Wendy's.

Also I must say I am happy with myself When I saw this guy today and he asked how I was doing I just said " fine " and I kept walking I did not stop to talk to him out of fear and I did not even act all that afraid. This guy drove off right after I did that. I think he is kinda getting the message that I don't want to see him again. Now yes I do think he turned around but he did not try to talk to me again so that was good. He did not follow me home.

what he did to me on Jan 10th is awful but with the way I acted today I think this guy knows that he is going to have a hard time doing this to me again. So that is why I am happy with myself

Well when the cop comes and when I talk to him/her and all that I will let you know how it went.

 

[drakethib]

I am just wondering why you haven't called yet?

Hey there is no shame in being safe.

For your safety and the safety of other call the cops.

Edit: Just saw where you called. Hope all is well.

What happened with this FC? I'm glad you called the police.... he sounds like a crazy guy who is trying to intimidate you.
