A Covington man is in jail after police say he terrorized a young mother with some very strange behavior.
Authorities say that at about 2 AM on Saturday, 25 year old Jason Allen Crowe crashed his car into a fence on North Polk Street in Covington.
He then kicked in the door to a nearby house, went inside and started pulling down curtains and destroying things, according to Covington Police Captain Jack West.
"He ran through the house, ransacking the house," said West. "When he got to the occupant of the house, a young lady with a year-old baby laying in bed, he ran up and pulled the covers off, and started growling at her."
The suspect did not know the woman, according to West.
Neighbors who heard the 23 year old woman scream for help were able to drag the subject out of the residence and hold him until a Covington police officer patrolling nearby arrived and arrested him.
West says alcohol may have been a factor in Crowe's actions.
"He told us he thought someone was after him," West said. "He admitted to drinking, but his behavior was a little more bizarre than alcohol could account for."
Listen to WWL's Jay Vice's conversation with Captain West about the incident:
Crowe has been charged with Unauthorized Entry of an Inhabited Dwelling, Criminal Damage to Property, and Disturbing the Peace.
The young mother and her child were not harmed.
