A Marquette teen was arrested on multiple requested charges after an alleged incident at his former girlfriend's residence in southern Saline County late Sunday morning.

A 15-year-old girl was home in the 11000 block of S. Burma Road when she heard what she initially thought was her father working on the house, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning. Instead, it was a 17-year-old Marquette boy with whom she used have a relationship.

The incident occurred shortly before 11:45 a.m. Sunday

The boy allegedly attempted to break into the residence, causing $450 in damage to a storm door and $600 damage to glass in another door, Soldan said. Additionally, the boy allegedly caused $150 worth of damage to a large wire dog kennel. No dog was inside the kennel.

Soldan said that when the girl heard the noise, she looked out a window and made eye contact with the boy, who then jumped into what turned out to be a stolen vehicle from McPherson County and began doing donuts in the yard.

It appeared that the boy also had gotten into one of the family's vehicle's while he was there, Soldan said.

The boy took off and was later arrested in McPherson County in connection to the stolen vehicle, Soldan said. Additionally, the Saline County Sheriff's Office is requesting the following charges for the boy, Soldan said.

●Aggravated burglary

●Felony damage to property

●Criminal trespass

●Reckless driving
