Overview

• Doorbell camera footage released Wednesday shows Natalie McDaniel opening the front door and stepping inside a Coventry Road home following a homeowner’s trespassing complaint.
• City of Cleveland Heights officials had called the allegation false and inflammatory, asserting that McDaniel only knocked on an open door to speak to a contractor.
• The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office has taken over the investigation to determine whether a criminal trespassing charge is warranted.
• Mayor Kahlil Seren has scheduled a news conference to address the incident at Cleveland Heights City Hall.
• A recall election on September 9 will determine whether voters remove Seren after staff turnover and multiple legal complaints in his administration.
