Residents in the neighborhood around North Fair Oaks Avenue and Marathon Road have encountered a suspicious character who's knocking on doors at night.

He's knocked on at least a couple of doors — one resident said his mother was asking him to meet the neighbors (this was on Thurs., Sept. 29, at about 8:30 PM), the other said he spoke through the door in a muffled tone of voice.  He is described as Caucasian, about 19 years old, about 5 ft. 8 ins. with dyed blonde hair (his dark roots are visible).  

Our line to the sheriff's department, community volunteer Carolyn Seitz, says to report incidents like this as soon as possible to the sheriff's station: 798-1131.
