The Caldwell Police Department has announced that a man is in custody after a teen reported that she was chased and threatened by the suspect. According to a social media post from the Caldwell Police Department, dispatch received a call at 2:14 PM today. A 13-year-old called and reported that a man had threatened to “get her” and chased her from a nearby park to the 7100 block of Noah Drive.

The suspect and victim do not know each other. While the victim was on the phone with dispatch, the man showed up at the apartment where the victim was calling from. The victim informed dispatch that the man was cursing and banging on the wall of her home. Officers were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, officers found 30-year-old Julian Gonzalez lying on the ground and seemed to be under the influence of drugs.

Gonzalez was taken into custody without incident. A short time later, authorities say the suspect became very hostile with officers. He allegedly kicked them, spat on them, and cursed them repeatedly. No officers were injured. Paramedics were called because of Gonzalez’s presumed level of intoxication.

After Gonzalez is cleared from the hospital, he will be booked into jail for battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, being under the influence in public, and resist and obstruct.
