After the suspect escaped, he was found at Shanetta Stevens' home about an hour later.
Stevens said he cut through the woods to get to her neighborhood on Chestnut Hill drive and inside her open garage. She said she's thankful he never got inside her house.
"It made you feel very uneasy about things that could happen in your own neighborhood. I guess, at your own house," she said.
