A registered sex offender allegedly terrorized a California neighborhood Friday night, peeping into one home before trapping residents inside another.
Edward Carver, 36, was arrested after Santa Rosa police said he forced his way into a residence on the 2700 block of Mohawk Street shortly before 11 p.m.
The suspect allegedly kept residents from escaping by repeatedly closing the front door, according to cops.
One resident managed to pin the man against a wall, but he escaped before officers arrived.
Earlier that night, police received a report of a man peering into a residence window and making sexual remarks to a resident in the same neighborhood.
Cops launched a search involving multiple officers after the reported break-in.
Carver was allegedly found hiding in bushes on Yuma Street and arrested.
The Santa Rosa Police Department said it was disclosing Carver’s status as a registered sex offender because of the nature of the new allegations and to protect the community.
He was booked into the Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility on $250,000 bail on allegations including burglary, false imprisonment and peeking while loitering, along with other allegations.
Carver was also being held on a parole violation stemming from his prior conviction, police said.
He is scheduled to appear in court Monday at 1:30 p.m.
