Woman attends to naked, wounded man on her front porch

Cecelia Dolezal is a retired LPN, and she said it was her duty to answer her door early Thursday morning when she saw a bleeding, naked man standing on the front porch of her home at 809 Crotteau Road.
“He was bleeding from here and here,” Dolezal said pointing to her left forehead at the hairline and her hair about three-quarters back on the right side of her head.
“He was naked, and his hands were bloody. I brought him in, gave him a sheet to wrap around himself and then I called an ambulance,” she said.
Dolezal said she was still awake, having just gotten home from the Crosscut Casino about an hour earlier.
“I was still fully clothed, and besides, I know how to shoot a gun.”
It seems the victim, Ronald Giurlandra, fled to an adjacent home to the east that does not list an address on the front.
Dolezal said the victim, who was charged with disorderly conduct, suffered self-inflicted wounds from a guitar.
Police were summoned, and subsequently, Glenda Peters of that adjacent address was arrested for disorderly conduct.
Dolezal said two officers responded to the call, and they went to Peters’ home and retrieved Giurlandra’s clothes.
“He got his shirt, pants, socks, but no shoes,” she said. “I guess they couldn’t find his shoes.”
She said she didn’t hear any commotion from her neighbor’s home until the man came beating on her door.
“I don’t know what happened over there.”
