Man arrested, accused of grabbing at two women through windows

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL STAR TRIBUNE
MINNEAPOLIS -- A man faces burglary charges after two incidents in which he allegedly implored women from outside their bedroom windows to have sex with him -- and thrust one or both hands through the window screens.
When arrested a short time later, Bryan Westerlund, 18, claimed he was drunk, according to a criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County District Court.
"It's kind of a bizarre case," said police Capt. Greg Roehl, who noted that only about 14 minutes elapsed between the break-ins.
As she was watching TV in bed, a woman said, a man stuck his hand through the window screen and proclaimed in crude terms a desire to have sex with her.
He left when she said she was calling 911. His hand was light-skinned, she said.
A short time later, less than a half-mile away, a woman was awakened by a voice at the window saying, "Hey, come here." She went to the window, she said, and an arm broke through the screen, grabbing her head and hair.
"I want to be with you," the man said. "I want to have sex with you."
She pulled away, she said, and the man reached in and grabbed her again with both hands. She bit him, broke free again and called 911, the complaint said.
The second victim later identified Westerlund as the intruder, and a police dog tracked his scent from the second residence to the first.
At the time of Westerlund's arrest, Roehl said, he had an outstanding warrant for a petty misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession.
