Deputy Paul McRedmond said the man got into the house on Tuesday through a sliding door. He backed the woman into her living room and pushed her face down onto a chair.That's when the woman reached behind and squeezed. The man tore free and fled. McRedmond said a county code enforcement officer who heard the police call on his radio spotted a car near the woman's house and passed on the licence information to authorities. Troutdale police arrested a 46-year-old man. He has been jailed on accusations of burglary, harassment and private indecency. Bail was set at $110,000.
