A representative for Marcos Osorio provided a video to The Fresno Bee taken by Allyson Osorio as she confronted him. The man in the video bears a resemblance to Frazier.<\/p>\n<p>Fresno Police Lt. Brian Pierce confirmed to The Bee that the department is in receipt of the incident report, filed electronically.<\/p>\n<p>Frazier did not return messages from The Bee on Tuesday seeking comment.<\/p>\n<p>Marcos Osorio told The Bee that he was not home at the time of the alleged incident. He called Frazier\u2019s alleged actions \u201cdisqualifying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it could be at the very least seen as political intimidation, but at the very worst, some sort of illegal offense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy kiddos are obviously very weirded out. They\u2019re asking all these questions. My sister, after having some time after the interaction, is scared and emotional,\u201d Osorio said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a father, I\u2019m furious. As a candidate, I feel it\u2019s completely inappropriate. I feel that with the environment that we\u2019re in politically in this country and in our town, there should be no space for that kind of activity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Frazier and Osorio are running for the community college board seat currently represented by Rob Fuentes, who is running for a Fresno City Council seat.<\/p>\n<p>A third candidate, Miguel Castaneda Sanchez, is also on the ballot. He is listed as sales associate and student. He filed a statement, saying he would raise and spend less than $2,000.<\/p>\n<p>Allyson Osorio said that after driving up to her brother\u2019s house she confronted the man to find out what he wanted. \u201cI asked Terrance [sic] approximately three times who he was and what he was doing there,\u201d she wrote in the police report.<\/p>\n<p>She told The Bee in an interview that she recognized the man as Frazier, her brother\u2019s political opponent. \u201cThat is why I reacted in the way I did. I asked him to tell me the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said in the police report that Frazier gave her a fake name and a phone number and that he told her that \u201che was only looking because he buys houses, and it looked \u2018vacant,\u2019\u201d according to the police report.<\/p>\n<p>Frazier kept asking if she was the homeowner, according to the report. She said in the police report that Frazier ultimately told her he was looking for \u201cAndrew Vanhorn,\u201d a name she later realized was on some mail that had been misdelivered to the mailbox, she said in the police report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis felt like intimidation and an [sic] breach of privacy for Terrence [sic] to do this, especially understanding that he was going through the mail, looking through windows, running off when a car pulled into the driveway, and providing a fake name, reason for being there, and number when confronted. During my exchange with him I asked \u201care you a neighbor?\u201d He said \u201csometimes.\u201d He also said that it\u2019s \u201cthe first time he saw a car here,\u201d implying it was not his first time looking at the home,\u201d she wrote in the report<\/p>\n<p>                                          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot 2026-10-06 143212 Frazier allegedly.jpg\"   width=\"1200\" height=\"809\" title=\"Screenshot 2026-10-06 143212 Frazier allegedly.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot from a video, provided to The Bee, purportedly of a confrontation between the sister of SCCCD trustee candidate and a man who bears a resemblance to the other person in the race, Terance Frazier.\"\/>                                                                                    A screenshot from a video, provided to The Bee, purportedly of a confrontation between the sister of SCCCD trustee candidate and a man who bears a resemblance to the other person in the race, Terance Frazier.
