A woman who lives in the 4600 block of Freedom Court told police that several possible bounty hunters are harassing her. She told police that the man she used to date was charged with driving with intoxicated and he skipped bail. She said three men in black tactical vests with badges around their necks knocked on her door looking for her former boyfriend. She allowed them to search her residence. The three men returned later with guns visible. They never told the woman what agency they represented. When Middletown police dispatch called the number the man left with the resident, the officer said he worked for U.S. Inmate Services. Police told the agent if he was going to issue a warrant in the city, the police department should be notified first.
