A Vestavia Hills couple got quite the surprise on New Year's Eve when a nude man wearing a presidential mask creeped into their breezeway.
The man, who was naked except for what appeared to be a Ronald Reagan rubber mask covering his head and a sock covering his private parts, ran off when Jersey Belle's Danielle Yancey and her husband spotted him. The ordeal, however, was caught on their home security video and later posted to Facebook as a warning to neighbors and others.
"I know a lot of people are laughing about it and, honestly, I got a chuckle from it later, but at the same time, it's very concerning,'' Danielle Yancey said. "I don't know what he was planning on doing."
Yancey's husband, Bart, had just taken out the trash and returned inside when he caught a glimpse of a shadow in the breezeway. The trespasser had already opened the gate and entered when Bart Yancey yelled to him. He then followed him briefly while he called 911 from his cell phone.
Vestavia Hills police responded to the scene, but weren't able to find the man. "It was so cold outside,'' Yancey said. "The police said he wouldn't last long outside nude like that."
She said multiple theories have been discussed, including that it was a dare, a lost bet, or teenage New Year's Eve party gone out of control. "He could have been messed up on drugs or alcohol, and in that mindset you don't what he would do to someone else," Yancey said.
"I don't think he had a gun on him, but he could have potentially hurt us or we could have hurt him,'' she said. "Even if it was a prank, it could have become very scary and dangerous quickly."
Vestavia Hills police Lt. Kevin York said they received another call about 11 p.m. about a teenager streaking through the neighborhood in the direction of Vestavia Hills Baptist, where he said kids are known to hang out. They were unable to locate the streaker as well.
Yancey said she just wants her neighbors and the community to be aware and safe, and hopes that the trespasser also is safe, if indeed he meant no harm. "I hope he never does it again because he could have been unlucky," she said. "Maybe we spooked him off enough not go to another house and not do it again."
A bill Clinton mask would have been much more appropriate.
Dang,beat me to it!
That Jeb Bush, what a crackup! LOL! GO JEB!
Could have been his biological son. His children turn out to be quite a sideshow.
I’dve needed panty hose, lightweight.
Well, if I were the homeowner, I wouldn't be chuckling about this situation. Not at all. At a minimum, I'd be thinking about getting me a big dog.
One of Rubios people?
Location scout for the next ‘RAT stealth debate.
A Clinton mask wouldn’t have been considered “newsworthy.” It would be like “dog bites man.”
Have you ever noticed how al.com will run EVERY gun accident report from ANYWHERE in the country but they NEVER run anything at all about homeowners or citizens saving their lives or the lives of other people with their guns?
They ran the paper in the ground when the lesbian editor took over. It only publishes 3 days a week and they had to sell their building and move to much smaller quarters.
They also have zero black reporters covering a majority black city.
So while they may be willing to destroy the newspaper with anti-gun articles and constant pro-homosexuality and pro-marijuana articles, they are not one bit willing to hire a black reporter or keep one on the news staff.
They did have a black reporter on the sports staff, but she was a plagiarizer from Jacksonville and they hired her knowing that. Then they covered it up when she got in trouble for domestic violence and a little but later, the chick set herself on fire when she tried to burn up her husband’s car.
They also went to town reporting on Josh Duggar being on the Ashley Madison list, but never uttered a peep when their own political reporter Charles Dean was exposed on the list and instead published a big article trying to scare people off from looking at the list themselves.
Really, the guy isn’t schooled on his presidents.
12 gauge shotgun with 3in magnums loaded with rock salt would have been the optimum solution to this problem. He would probably a state or two away still running and screaming “my butts on fire, somebody please put it out”.
I said, “Don’t
look, Ethel!” But it’s too late, she’d already been incensed.
Vestavia Hills is pretty nice digs in the tony relatively safe part of Birmingham
