ENTERPRISE, Ala. — A homeowner in Enterprise says a frightening overnight encounter ended with police taking a man into custody after he allegedly spent hours around the property, attempted to enter the home and exposed himself.
According to the homeowner, security camera footage showed the man walking around the yard throughout the night, attempting to open doors, swimming in the family’s pool, going through personal belongings, and was allegedly committing lewd fondling in public view.
The homeowner said the situation escalated around 6:30 a.m. when they opened the back door as part of their normal morning routine and found a naked man attempting to get inside the home.
The homeowner said their husband chased the man out and down the street to a neighbor’s yard, where he held him until Enterprise police arrived.
The homeowner said they have young daughters and described the incident as terrifying, saying they believe the man had been hiding on the property and could have entered the home if a door had been been left unlocked.
“Violated. I fear for my daughters. Knowing that a man can strip down naked and attempt to break in and nothing can be done about it is terrifying,” the homeowner said.
The homeowner also said neighbors told them the same man had attempted to get into their homes as well, although those reports have not been independently confirmed by WDNews.
Jail records show 34-year-old Brin Jacob Medows was booked into the Coffee County Jail by the Enterprise Police Department at 7:08 a.m. Thursday. He was charged with public lewdness or exposure and was released on a $500 bond.
The homeowner questioned why additional charges were not filed, expressing concern that the suspect could quickly return to the neighborhood.
WDNews has reached out to the Enterprise Police Department for additional information about the investigation, including whether additional charges are being considered. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
