Woman invites strangers to York home for drinks, wakes up with two black eyes

A woman told York police this week that she invited two strangers over to her house for drinks and woke up the next day with two black eyes.

A 46-year-old woman reported the incident after she says she met a man and woman at a Dollar Tree store on Monday night and invited them back to her North Congress Street home for drinks, according to the incident report. She told the officer she didn’t know either of the persons’ names.

Once back at the house, the woman says she had two small drinks, which she said each had only a 5 percent alcohol content, but then began to feel “extremely drunk” and “fall a lot.” She believes one of the two strangers put something in her drink.

She said she couldn’t clearly remember all the details of the evening, but she “does recall having to tell the male party to stop touching her several times,” the report states. The next day, the woman had dark bruising around both of her eyes.

She doesn’t think the man punched her, she said, but she may have been pushed or fallen into something.

The woman “was vague at best on details of the conversation which led to them coming back to her house,” according to the report. She was evaluated by EMS and asked to complete a victim’s form.
