Suspicious behaviour

Drayton reportedly spent the next two hours following the two women around, telling them about his background and that he was in Los Angeles to start a moving company, but he also invited them to a party in Venice. After seeing him on the news, upon his arrest in North Hollywood, Janae says, “For longest time, I would stay up at night playing out different scenarios.”

According to her, what might have saved Janae and her friend was that they quickly noticed his creepy nature and not taking a hint to leave them alone, “The whole time, he was walking with us and following us. It started getting a little weird.”

When things were getting out of hand, Janaeclaims, “I remember telling my girlfriend, ‘Let’s try to stay in the bathroom for 10 minutes and, hopefully, he gets tired of waiting for us.’ So we stay in the bathroom for 10 minutes, then we come out, and he’s still out there.”

Even after he left because they wouldn’t let him buy them drink, he texted her that, “Huge house party jumpin off tonight and tomorrow venice beach … Their starting to set stuff up out here,“ Drayton texted a little after midnight. We’re having a hotel party @ 12 in studio suite .. If you down.” She however refused the offer.
