Peeping: Callers reported seeing a woman in the 2600 block of Hollywood Boulevard "acting strangely and looking around vehicles" Monday.

They said she was behaving erratically and refusing to stand still but denied having used drugs or been drinking, so they gave her a ride home where her father told them he believes she's "back on drugs and is being difficult." He also said she fell earlier, injuring her face and said he took her to the gas station for cigarettes and she got out so he came home. She was advised to stay in for the night.
