A disturbing situation is unfolding in Port Charlotte, where a man has been leaving violent, sexualized notes outside Salon D Suites. He is now escalating his actions by speaking in person and voicing these threats.
Danielle Dinardi Hall, the salon's owner, said it all started with a single letter, which she initially dismissed as a joke. However, the situation took a more serious turn when a second letter arrived, and the man entered the salon, uttering vulgar words. The incident was captured on camera.
"Hey sexy baby, you are very rapeable, very bleep, and I'm coming for that bleep at noon tomorrow," said Hall, quoting the handwritten note left at the salon's front door.
The second note was signed with Vince Barnes, accompanied by a smiley face. Hall recounted the unsettling moment when the man leaned into the door and spoke his threats aloud.
"I don't know if he thinks it's funny, and that last letter came in maybe two weeks ago, then maybe just two or three days ago he came and poked his head in the door," said Hall.
The situation has left the community on high alert, with Hall standing firm and employees remaining vigilant.
"It does make you feel a little more fearful, you know, because it feels like he's getting brazen, so what's next?" said Bobby Cox, a stylist at the salon.
Hall mentioned that several individuals have reached out, believing they know the man's identity. She is cooperating with the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, which is investigating the matter.
