A man who was out with friends at a Grass Valley establishment decided to punch out a car window while walking to a friend’s house. As a result of that action, the woman that was with him decided she did not want to go home with him. However, that did not keep the man from making his way to her house. Sheriff Captain Jeff Pettitt says, shortly after the victim got home the suspect David Pierce arrived.
