A man at Dogwood Manor at 959 Gateway Ave. seemed very paranoid and wanted to go into a different room. He kept looking out the door while speaking with police.

Then about four days ago another resident came and knocked on his door and he had the man’s phone. This resident said that the woman gave him the phone and told him that it was the man’s phone.
