Woman drags neighbour by his beard

KANSAS CITY - An elderly woman dragged a 62-year-old man out of her house by his beard after he entered her house and took off his clothes, a US court has heard.

The woman, 64, said she woke up about 12:50 a.m. Tuesday and found her neighbour standing over her naked. He allegedly grabbed her arm and said he was “just being friendly”, The Kansas City Star reported Saturday citing court documents.

She grabbed his beard and dragged him to her door in the 3200 block of Oakland Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri.

As she tried to throw him out, he allegedly grabbed her throat. She picked up a tape measure and bonked it against his head three times. He left.

The woman said she found his black shorts on her DVD player in her living room. She threw them outside at her neighbour, who was sitting on her deck, crying, according to the court documents.

Jackson County prosecutors charged Laurence K. Saunders with burglary, sexual misconduct and two counts of assault. He was in jail Wednesday, with bond set at $50,000.

Police reports said the man had been drinking before the incident.
