A Bristol Township man has been arrested on charges he broke into a home and assaulted a teen.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Bristol Township police were called to a home in the 2500 block of Laurel Drive around 2:05 a.m. on September 1. They arrived to find 37-year-old Antoine Lamar Blount in a 17-year-old girl’s bedroom where she was pushing him away.

Police said that the girl had abrasions on her face.
The girl’s mother told officers that Blount was seated in the passenger seat of a car outside a neighbor’s home. She also reported scaring two men away from a window on the first floor of her home around the same time. She warned Blount not to trespass, police said.
The teen relayed to investigators that she encountered Blount outside the Laurel Drive home’s front yard and he appeared combative and intoxicated. He grabbed the girl by her hair and threw her to the ground, police said.

Blount allegedly stopped the girl from closing the home’s front door as she fled and he overpowered her.
Inside the home, as the girl was yelling, Blount dragged her by the hair across the living room floor and slammed her head into a wall several times, police said.

The two ended up in the girl’s bedroom as she tried to flee from the 37 year old, police said.
The girl was able to call 9-1-1 at that point and police responded.
Blount was arraigned Tuesday morning on charges of burglary, criminal trespassing, simple assault, harassment, and criminal mischief by Senior District Judge Robert Roth. He was remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $10,000 bail.
