A man was pepper-sprayed and then arrested after he allegedly broke into the home of his ex-girlfriend Sunday morning on South Abbey Way.
An arrest citation for 31-year old Michael Johnson of Hopkinsville says he made forced entry into the woman’s home, kicked and punched through a bathroom door and then grabbed the victim by her head and arm to pull her through the door.
The woman was able to pepper-spray Johnson and officers found him at a sink trying to wash out his eyes when they arrived.
He was arrested after a brief struggle and charged with first-degree burglary, resisting arrest and fourth-degree assault.
