STARKE—Deputies arrested a 23-year-old Starke man after complaints that he walked around a Pleasant Grove residence and onto the front porch uninvited.
Cameron Jamal McKenzie was arrested for loitering or prowling.
According to an arrest report, a woman inside the Northwest 177th Street residence told a deputy she heard knocking on the back door and saw the defendant walking around the carport. She added that the man appeared to be talking to someone, but no one else was around. The defendant picked up several items in the carport and then put them back before walking around to the front and entering the front porch. He then exited the area and continued walking around the house.
The woman said she feared for her safety and called a household member who was at work. The family member called a neighbor who arrived to see Mason exit the front porch door.
The neighbor added that McKenzie walked around the home, pulling on bushes. After the neighbor told McKenzie to leave, the defendant continued walking around the structure and, at one point, asked the neighbor if he had keys to the four-wheeler on the property.
Deputy Paul King said he detained and interviewed the defendant.
“While speaking with Cameron, he advised me that he used methamphetamine and that he was looking for “Jeff,” the deputy wrote in an arrest report. The neighbor told King there was no one at the residence by that name.
