*** WATCH *** Centerville woman alarmed by strange male banging on...

HN NOTES: Pleasant Pines Avenue is generally a sleepy little neighborhood that runs next to Bearse Pond and Wequaquet Lake in Centerville…

… until about 3:45 a.m. this morning, when a woman was awakened by a strange, rather large male, banging on her front door and bulkhead.

As you will see in the following HN Video, this wasn’t the first time the male in question had drawn my attention last evening. About an hour and a half earlier, I noted that it was strange to see this particular male out walking along Route 132 back in Hyannis, seemingly with purpose, heading in the direction of the neighborhood in question, which had been approximately just over 3 miles away at that point…

When police arrived at the Pleasant Pines address in Centerville, they found the male just sitting there hanging out on the doorstep… and according to the call to the police, he had been talking to himself…

… but aside from the banging and talking to himself… and being a complete stranger… not to mention being an “uninvited gentleman caller”… the male who had just walked from Hyannis in the wee hours really wasn’t causing any other mischief.

A little research via walkie-talkies revealed the gentleman in question possibly had “DMH” issues, which is cop talk for “Department of Mental Health issues.”

The officers on scene found the man to be quite docile, albeit rather large, hairy, and probably a strange sight for an unsuspecting female, who found the man banging on her door and bulkhead shortly after the witching hour, as if he had somehow materialized out of the vapor of the nearby swamp…

… but swamp creature he was not! He had a place where he belonged. And a little more research via walkie-talkies revealed the mysterious male to be a known and welcomed guest at a Hyannis group home on Cedar Street. He had apparently told officers he was out looking for his friend’s house…

… but in all actuality, this may have simply been a case of a lost Hytown group home resident wandering off the proverbial reservation and ending up in a neighborhood unaccustomed to such early morning banging behavior. Had this happened in Hyannis, any experienced female Hytonian would have very likely handled this on her own, saying, “Get your ass back to Cedar Street and stop banging on my [effing] door! What the hell is wrong with you? Next time you wake me up, YOU’RE gonna to need to call the cops!” (But I’m basing my assessment only on some of the female Hytonians I happen to know… I could be wrong 😉 )

As for the lost wandering male with the banging on door and bulkhead issues, he was driven back to Cedar Street in a cop van, because other than choosing the wrong neighborhood, he actually had not meant to do anything wrong. (At least one would hope not!)

The following HN Video highlights the entire situation… (the man’s identity has been blurred and edited out… this time…)
