A young Windsor woman is sharing the details of a break in at her home, including the moments she said she thought might be her last<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was mentally preparing for the worst because you could tell this guy was super angry,\u201d she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She asked not to be identified for fear of retribution, so CTV News Windsor is calling her Grace in order to protect her identity<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was shortly before midnight on Feb. 9, 2024, a time when Grace said she\u2019d usually be out at a bar, but this particular night she stayed home while her roommates went out<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was alone and just dozing off when she heard a frightening sound<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI woke up to this banging,\u201d she recalled. \u201cIt sounded like somebody fully kicking the door. Angry. Trying to get in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It turns out that\u2019s exactly what it was, as a muddy boot print is still visible on the front door four days later<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was scared. I was really scared,\u201d she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grace said she called out to ask if any of her roommates were home. They weren\u2019t, and the man was getting in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She ran down the stairs to hide, when the intruder followed her<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe keeps saying, \u2018Where is she?\u2019 And saying she owes him money or something like that,\u201d Grace explained<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she tried to discretely call 9-1-1 on her cell phone but couldn\u2019t communicate with the operator. That\u2019s when the intruder got too close for comfort<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis guy came up to me and was hugging me and telling me, \u2018It’s okay,\u2019 because I was crying,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was calling me pretty and stuff and I was just like trying not to freak out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grace said the man appeared to be on drugs and even asked her if she had any. That is how she ended up escaping<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was like, \u2018Let\u2019s go look for some,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cThen he went in a different direction so I ran up the stairs and out the front door<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just kept running and I called the cops,\u201d she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Windsor Police Service confirmed to CTV News Windsor they are investigating the incident, but did not respond to a follow up question about whether or not Victim Assistance Services would be offered to Grace after the ordeal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she was disappointed with a lack of support from law enforcement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWould they want that to happen to their daughters?\u201d she asked<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she feels the intruder was treated with more kindness then she was that night<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe was literally being interviewed in my living room. Sitting in my chair and stuff,\u201d said Grace<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police brought an ambulance to her home to assess the man, but his jacket was left behind and hadn\u2019t been picked up when CTV News Windsor spoke to her on Tuesday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grace is worried he might come back for it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she would be pursuing charges against the man for the ordeal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGirls should be able to have their doors locked, their windows locked and feel safe to go to bed,\u201d she said<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
