According to police, on Sunday July 31, an adult woman was lying in her bed speaking to her friend when she heard someone tampering with her bedroom window at 12:59 a.m.
She reportedly then observed her former acquaintance, Vernon Sackey Jr., had pulled out several louvers from the southern bedroom window and entered the room. She then ran into her little brother’s bedroom and locked the door.
While she was inside the bedroom, Sackey allegedly attacked her male friend and a fight ensued. Sackey then grabbed a broomstick, struck the victim in the head, and took the victims’ Gucci slippers and fled the scene.
On August 1, Sackey, 23, turned himself in to police. He was charged with Burglary 1st under the domestic violence statute.
No bail was set for Sackey. He was remanded to the John A. Bell Bureau of Corrections, pending advice of rights hearing.
