Los Angeles police have arrested a man they allege forced his way into a San Fernando Valley home and tried to sexually assault a housekeeper earlier this week.
Kevin William Lasz, who turned 30 Friday, was arrested Thursday evening on suspicion of assaulting someone during a burglary with the intention of rape, the LAPD said.
Police described an unsettling series of events that they said led up to the attempted assault on Wednesday afternoon. They allege that Lasz first knocked on the door of a home in the 17000 block of Minnehaha Street in Granada Hills and asked a woman there if he could come inside her house.
