A Holmes Beach man was taken into custody May 9 after allegedly breaking into a home, damaging property, threatening people and refusing to leave.
Douglas E. Mullaney, 39, faces a felony charge of burglary to a dwelling with assault. He is scheduled to appear in court June 10.
A Holmes Beach Police Department report stated that Mullaney went to a home in the 600 block of Foxworth Lane and pounded on the door.
The resident’s boyfriend was inside the home watching television, but refused to answer. When the boyfriend heard noises in a bedroom, he investigated and encountered Mullaney, who started yelling at him, according to HBPD.
The report said Mullaney refused to leave the residence, threatened the occupant and threw furniture. The boyfriend telephoned the resident, who called 911 to dispatch HPBD.
The report stated that Mullaney was arrested without incident, and that an officer found a broken bedroom window and damaged furniture.
Mullaney is a registered sex offender, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The case from Pike, Pa., was adjudicated in December 1999.
