Witnesses told police that a man in his mid-20s walked into a front yard in Spartanburg, South Carolina, just before 10 p.m. Sunday and was behaving "very strange" as he approached the homeowners, WYFF-TV reported.
The man — who was wearing dark clothing and a hooded sweatshirt — did not leave immediately after being asked to go away, but the station said he eventually departed after repeated requests to leave.
The lull in the action didn't last long, however.
