The resident reported that her ex-boyfriend – a 33-year-old man from North Wales, Montgomery County – broke into her home while knowing he was not welcome, according to court papers.
The woman explained that the man was knocking at her front door repeatedly despite her fact she didn’t answer. The woman locked all the doors and went to lay in her bed. Shortly after, she heard a bang and heard someone in the house, according to police.
The man, according to his ex-girlfriend’s account to police, came into her bedroom and told her she was going to have to call law enforcement.
