“According to a preliminary investigation, a female opened the door and Deezen pushed his way inside. She advised Deezen made unwanted entry into the residence and almost made it into one of the residence’s rooms before they were able to get him to exit the residence,” police said. “She advised Deezen then went outside but refused to leave the property, which is posted with a no trespassing sign.”
Police were also told there have been “several issues with Deezen leaving items at the residence and various types of notes with the items.”
It was not immediately clear if Deezen has a representative for PEOPLE to reach for comment.
