MIDDLETOWN, OH (FOX19) – A 30-year-old Middletown man knocking on doors and claiming to be looking for a woman named Brooke probably won’t be finding her anytime soon.

On Friday morning the Middletown Division of Police received two calls, one at 08:40 and another at 10:17, that a man was knocking on doors asking for a female named Brooke or Molly. The callers said the man was acting suspicious and in one case he was knocking on the back door. One of the callers wrote down the man’s license plate number and officers found the car nearby.

“When we stopped him he was still claiming to be looking for a girl he had met recently but wasn’t sure where she lived”, Lieutenant Walter Scott Reeve said. “When we arrested him we found screw drivers in his pocket, a black toboggan hat, and heroin in his cigarette pack.”
