I apologize to several readers who shared an e-mail about an assault of a young woman who answered the door Sunday to a man with a small dog. The assault was on Shamrock, near Hall High School. (Not in Hillcrest, as several early reports had it.) The suspect was arrested at his home on Leslie Circle in Leawood, not far from the scene of the crime.
I couldn’t make contact with an LRPD spokesman to check the account, but Channel 11 did. The story in the e-mail was true and an arrest was made this evening of a 57-year-old man. Police believe the suspect stalked the woman and tried to abduct her, but neighbors intervened.
