Franklin-based State Police report Steven Wayne Mendez, 26, of unknown whereabouts but originally from Oil City, is suspected of entering two separate residences along the 600 block of Henry’s Bend Road in President Township between August 7 and August 12.

Police report at one residence Mendez was allegedly standing in the bedroom when the victim came into her house and asked him what he was doing there and what his name was. Mendez allegedly “didn’t reply and seemed to be as surprised as the victim was.”

At the other residence it appeared as though Mendez pried open a back door and was staying at the residence, which is an abandoned camp.

Mendez allegedly came back after troopers cleared it, pried open a window and crawled through, ultimately cutting himself and leaving a blood trail from the living room to the front door where he escaped.

Evidence from both scenes was sent to a laboratory to be tested for DNA.
