What on Earth did I just watch?
If you have a home surveillance tape, you might want to check it. You never know. You might’ve had some random weirdo lick your doorbell for three hours. At least, that’s what happened here.
A man was caught on surveillance video licking a doorbell in the Rossi Rico neighborhood of Salinas.
A family called police when, to their shock, they found the footage on their home surveillance.
The homeowners were out of town, but their children were inside. They didn’t wake up to the noise, but the families surveillance system alerts them when there’s movement by the front door.
“I thought, boy there’s a lot of traffic. I go, 5:00 in the morning? My son doesn’t get home till 6:00 a.m. well then who the heck is that?” doorbell licker victim Sylvia Dungan said.
“Doorbell licker victim.” That’s an Actual Description in this story. Let that sink in.
Neighbors were shocked and confused.
“I thought I’ve seen it all, but this takes the cake,” one said.
“Never have we seen anything like this,” another added.
I think this is new for most people. Who would ever think that someone would go up to their porch and lick their doorbell for THREE HOURS? I mean, 10 seconds would be weird. No– licking the doorbell AT ALL– even for .2 seconds– would be weird. This is just out of control. He has to be on drugs, right? There’s simply no other explanation.
BTW– the dude also used their front lawn as toilet. #klassy with a k.
Not only was the man licking the doorbell, but police say he was also caught on camera appearing to relieve himself in the front yard.
Although neighbors and the homeowners were concerned, Dungan said at the end of the day no real harm was done.
“You kind of laugh about it afterwards because technically he didn’t do anything,” Dungan said.
It’s funny, but also no it’s not. I would be completely TRAUMATIZED if I was home alone and some random dude was on my porch LICKING MY DOORBELL FOR HOURS.
The good news? The man has been identified as 33-year-old Roberto Daniel Arroyo.
Police are still looking for Arroyo and say he could face two misdemeanor charges for petty theft and prowling.
There’s your freakshow news of the day. You’re welcome. Or I’m sorry. Either or.
