Upon his return, his belongings had been left on the porch and he was not welcome at the residence. The male then knocked out the window of the front door, injuring himself. The females decided to press charges against the male. After being released from ORMC, the male was arrested and transported to Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office with a state warrant secured for criminal trespass.
