Ex-boyfriend accused of assault | News, Sports, Jobs

Marco Garrett, 62, of 1506 Sutton Ave., was arrested on charges that he broke into an ex-girlfriend’s home in the 2500 block of West Fourth Street around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 27 and assaulted the woman, claimed city police in an affidavit. Garrett slipped into the house through an unlocked side door, went upstairs to the woman’s bedroom and “He proceeded to punch her several times in the face and head, causing swelling while she was on her mobile phone with her current boyfriend.” it was claimed in the court document. Garrett then jumped on the woman and forcibly took her cell phone, police said. The couple broke up in January, police were told. Charged with burglary, criminal mischief, simple assault, theft and harassment, Garrett recently waived his preliminary hearing before District Judge Christian Frey and remains free on $75,000 bail.
