Today’s riddle:
I once tried to apprehend a thief,
Who then physically and verbally attacked me.
I subsequently went to report this,
But was accused myself.
Who am I?
Hints: This character wasn't in the main series (or Pottermore articles or movies) and is a deceased human male with a name that suits his profession. He wasn't on a Chocolate Frog card. He didn't know what the intruder was trying to find, and it's unknown whether or not the thief was successful. He was accused of something related to the first 3 lines, but not the thievery itself. The thief surprised this character in more ways than one. This character is a muggle.
