Note on doorstep causes alarm

The woman called police after her boyfriend heard someone knocking on their door early in the morning. When the boyfriend went outside, he discovered a note on the doorstep which contained nothing but the ex-husband’s name and phone number.

According to the woman, her ex-husband was recently released from prison. The woman said she does not want the man around her or her children due to his violent past.

The note did not contain any threat, but extra patrols were requested for the residence.
