She quickly realized someone was watching her, and they had continued to follow her as she walked home. When she reached her front door, she was approached by a man. According to police, he allegedly followed her onto the porch, asking if her parents were home as he followed her into the house,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wxyz.com\/news\/man-in-custody-after-following-teenager-home-from-bus-stop-in-livonia\">WXYZ<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37643\" class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37643 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oliver-army-vet-dad-feat-640x566.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Oliver Man Follows Teen Girl From Bus Stop Into Her House But Her Army Vet Dad Was Home And He Takes Care Of Business\" data-src=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oliver-army-vet-dad-feat-640x566.jpg\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mike Oliver (Photo Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox2detroit.com\/news\/army-vet-father-chases-down-wrestles-man-who-followed-daughter-home-from-bus-stop\">Screenshot<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Luckily, Mike Oliver had been sitting in the living room, waiting for his 15-year-old, 10th-grade daughter to get home from Franklin High School when he discovered the man, who appeared to be about 30 according to the dad, had followed his daughter home. Upon this realization, Oliver asked the man in no uncertain terms what he was doing on his property.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than answer, the suspect decided to try to bolt from the residence. However, Oliver wasn\u2019t going to let him get away so easily. The Army veteran promptly went after the man, later identified by police as 27-year-old David Roberts of Livonia. Roberts didn\u2019t get very far.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37642\" class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37642 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/david-roberts2-640x786.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Oliver Man Follows Teen Girl From Bus Stop Into Her House But Her Army Vet Dad Was Home And He Takes Care Of Business\" data-src=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/david-roberts2-640x786.jpg\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">David Roberts (Photo Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wxyz.com\/news\/man-in-custody-after-following-teenager-home-from-bus-stop-in-livonia\">Police Mug Shot<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In fact, Oliver stopped him before he even made it off his lawn as he wrestled with him in the front yard. \u201cGrabbed him by his hair,\u201d Oliver said, recalling the moment he stopped the man dead in his tracks. \u201cHe was like an alligator just twisting, and he got away. He ran around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the suspect initially escaped his clutches, the protective dad wasn\u2019t a bit discouraged. Mike Oliver got into his truck and followed David Roberts through the neighborhood. Oliver\u2019s 19-year-old son and the neighbors also got involved, attempting to help track Roberts down as Oliver called 911 while in pursuit of the suspect.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Father fends off suspected predator who followed girl into Livonia home from bus stop\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bZPnQpRG2tQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Within minutes, multiple police officers arrived and found David Roberts in a nearby backyard. He was taken into custody and arraigned on charges of breaking and entering and assaulting a police officer. His bond was set at 10 percent of $100,000, but the Army veteran dad said he got off easy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe could\u2019ve been laying there on the ground today,\u201d Oliver said, referring to Roberts and what could have happened to him. \u201cThis could\u2019ve been so much worse for him. But, this isn\u2019t about being right, it\u2019s about doing right,\u201d the Army veteran added.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Man in custody after following teenager home from bus stop in Livonia\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k43sCjttnrk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although the teen is safe, she didn\u2019t come away from the ordeal completely unscathed. Instead, she\u2019s been left fearful and not wanting to go to school. \u201cMy daughter is doing well in school this year,\u201d Cindy Oliver, the mother of the Franklin High School 10th grader, explained. \u201cShe didn\u2019t even wanna go to school today because she was fearful for her life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the incident, parents and children alike are being reminded to watch their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/feuzi-zabaat-toddler-falling-1\/\">surroundings<\/a>. It is also recommended that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/taphaps.com\/samantha-call-bus-driver\/\">school children<\/a>, regardless of their age, walk with a friend or \u2014 even better \u2014 a group to and from their house. If they see someone or something suspicious, they are urged to tell an adult or call 911, and if they feel afraid or threatened, they should run. It may seem like common sense, but this simple reminder is most certainly needed. There are monsters among us, and our best defense is to first be alert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stock image (Photo Credit:\u00a0Screenshot) Mike Oliver, an Army veteran and a father of 15, was none too pleased when he found a man in his Livonia, Michigan, home on a Monday afternoon.
