A report of an attempted vehicle theft turned into some scary moments for a Georgetown resident.
Daniel Collins was arrested in March and charged with unlawful imprisonment, criminal mischief, resisting arrest and terroristic threatening after a strange series of events.
Police were dispatched to a home on Fairfax Way in response to reports of a man actively trying to steal a car from a driveway. As police arrived, a witness told officers that Collins ran into the home. Officers knocked on the door but no one responded.

The homeowner’s sister — worried for her brother’s safety — brought a key to unlock the door of the home for police. A female in the house ran to the door to tell officers that she had been held at knifepoint by the suspect who threatened to “slice her up” if she opened the door for detectives.
Police say Collins then crawled into the home’s attic causing significant damage to the ceiling. The victim told police that he also caused substantial damage to the vehicle he allegedly attempted to steal.
According to his arrest citation, Collins screamed and resisted arrest. Drugs are believed to have been a factor.
