A Boone County man is facing multiple charges after allegedly breaking into a home and assaulting a resident in the early hours of October 4. 37-year-old Andrew Clark, is charged with aggravated residential burglary, aggravated assault on a family or household member, criminal mischief in the first degree, domestic battering in the third degree, and violation of a no-contact order. He also faces a habitual offender sentence enhancement.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called around midnight to 904 Shorecrest Avenue after a resident reported a man attempting to break into the house and breaking kitchen windows. The victim identified the suspect as Clark, who was reportedly moving between her bedroom window, the back door, and the garage door.
