Police said a teenage girl hid in her bedroom when a man forced
his way into her Chesterville home, then had the presence of
mind to get a detailed description that helped investigators
identify a suspect. Police said the 17-year-old girl was home
alone Monday when someone knocked on the front door. Franklin
County Sheriff Scott Nichols Sr. said that when no one answered,
the intruder forced his way in. The girl hid in her bedroom
until the suspect opened the door, and he fled upon seeing her.
Police said she got a description of the suspect and his vehicle
and called 911. Investigators are looking for a 31-year-old
Augusta man.
