Benicia police early Sunday morning arrested a 41-year-old man after he was found hiding in a resident’s closet.
A woman living on the 1300 block of West K St. called police about 2:45 a.m. saying she’d heard noises coming from a bedroom. Dispatchers stayed on the phone with her while she waited for the officers outside.
Police found the suspect hiding inside a closet in possession of a folding knife and a roll of duct tape. His vehicle was later found in the area.
After a brief struggle, police arrested the man and booked him into Solano County Jail. Police said in a statement the victim was physically unharmed, “and we are providing as much support as possible after this traumatizing incident.”
Benicia Police identified the man as 41-year-old Timothy Allen Allison.
Would rather not have such crimes happening… but…It’s a really good story when there’s no need for “allegedly” anyplace in the report. Now if they’ll just find a way to throw away the key on this creep.
