Me and Dale were approached by a female suspect, identified as Alyssa, near the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in Centereach, New York. Alyssa, who is not a police officer and is known to be a private citizen, engaged the complainants in conversation.
Alyssa asked both individuals for their destination and requested their first and last names. During the interaction, Alyssa assured Dale by stating, "It's okay, you can go, I am not going to touch you." Additionally, Alyssa stated, "I'm watching you."
Patrick and Dale felt uncomfortable with Alyssa's behavior. The lady even said what is your last name.
If you and Dale felt uncomfortable or threatened by Alyssa's behavior, you may want to consider reporting the incident to the local police. While asking questions or having unusual conversations is not necessarily illegal, if her behavior felt intimidating, harassing, or threatening, the authorities can investigate further.
