76-year-old woman home when man experiencing homelessness breaks in, APD says

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- "I thought it was a good time to relax and watch a movie," 76-year-old Kathy Struck said about the afternoon of March 16. Her daughter Jennifer had just left for the grocery store.

The back door was unlocked.

"All of a sudden, I turn my head, and there's a man in my bedroom," Struck said, adding that the man also went through her pantry and refrigerator.

She said she stayed calm and got him to leave, locking the door behind him.

"Then I heard noise, I heard loud banging," Struck said.
