5/19/2001

A West Toledo woman told police that two men entered her residence yesterday - possibly by climbing a ladder to a second-story window and cutting the window screen - assaulted her, and demanded money.

Nilanna Dunnigan, 26, of the 1300 block of Craigwood Road, said she was sleeping with her two children, ages 3 and 8, when she found the men in her home about 3:15 a.m. One of the men put the barrel of a gun into the woman's mouth and demanded money, police said.

Nothing was taken, according to a police report. The men fled out a back door. Ms. Dunnigan locked herself and her children in the upstairs bathroom until police arrived. Ms. Dunnigan was treated at Toledo Hospital for injuries she received during the incident.
