A man was arrested in Santa Rosa after harassing a woman, cutting off power to her home, and then punching a police officer. On Monday night, a woman called police saying there was a man in a Jeep in front of her home on the 3000 block of Hemlock Street repeatedly flashing his high beams and honking his horn. She said she didn’t know the man and that he had been to her house three times earlier that day, continually ringing the doorbell, kicking items off a walkway, shutting off power to the home and turning on a garden hose that flooded the backyard. An officer located the jeep at a gas station at Piner Road and Coffey Lane. The man, 52-year-old Maurice Marcus Friedauer, violently resisted arrest and punched the officer in the face. He was charged with multiple offenses. According to Sonoma County Superior Court records, four people have previously filed restraining orders against Friedauer.
