Bowling Green Police responded to a report of a man looking in an apartment window, and ended up arresting the man for multiple felony warrants.
John Lawrence Anderson Jr., 26, of Napoleon, was charged with criminal trespassing and falsification, and was taken to Wood County Jail for felony warrants out of Williams County.
Police were dispatched Thursday at 11:21 p.m. to an apartment in the 400 block of South Summit Street, for the report of a man on the fire escape looking in the window.
When an officer walked up the wooden stairs at the residence, he found Anderson standing behind a portion of the wall at the top of the stairs. The man identified himself with a wrong name, birthdate, and told police his ID was through the state of Illinois. He reportedly pointed out an apartment and said his friend lived there, and he was waiting for him to come home.
Dispatch searched for his made up name in all 50 states and could not locate any matches.
Anderson kept telling police that his friend who lived in the apartment was named Thomas Hitchens. Dispatch could find no records of anyone with that name living in the house or paying utilities there.
An officer went to the apartment, and the resident said he did not know anyone by the name given by Anderson.
Anderson reportedly then told police his real name, which was run by dispatch. It was determined that Anderson had multiple felony warrants out of Williams County.
