A home invasion and sexual assault occurred on the 500 block of Lawrence Street early Friday morning at approximately 1 a.m., according to a crime alert. The Ann Arbor Police Department is currently investigating the incident.
The suspect entered the victim’s bedroom through an unlocked exterior door and got into bed with the victim while she was sleeping, according to the alert. The suspect then began to touch the victim inappropriately but stopped and fled when the victim screamed, the alert said.
