Man accused of breaking into ex-girlfriend’s motel room

MILAN – A 21-year-old man is accused of kicking in the door to his ex-girlfriend’s motel room while she was in the bathroom.

According to a report from the Erie County Sheriff’s Department, on November 24, the ex-girlfriend came into the lobby of the Sheriff’s Office to report the incident. She told deputies that, earlier that morning, Pharoah Williams, arrived unannounced outside her at the Motel Boutique on U.S. 250. According to the report, she claimed that Williams began banging on her door and yelling at her to let him in. She said that she told him to leave, but he slid a note under the door and continued banging on it, the report states.

According to the report, the woman claimed that when she was taking a shower, Williams kicked-in the door to her room and began to plead with her to “take him back.” She claimed that he then damaged the room and left, the report states.

The report states that police searched the room and only noticed the door, which the motel’s owner estimated would cost between $400-$500; however, none of the woman’s objects appeared to be damaged, just scattered.

Williams was charged with burglary, a fourth-degree felony, and criminal damaging, a first-degree misdemeanor. Officers from the Sandusky Police Department would later arrest him at his Sandusky home.
