Un-break My Heart

A female University student and her visiting friends were assaulted by her ex-boyfriend early Sunday when the man entered her home and pointed a gun at a friend’s head, police said.

The woman was at her South Milledge Avenue home with three friends when William Earl White of 150 Richmond Way arrived at about 4 a.m.

The woman told The Red & Black Monday that White banged on her front door three times before kicking it in.

She said she knew White was upset that she ended their year-long relationship Sunday morning because he had called her cell phone more than 30 times.

A little sour, eh?

He has a history of becoming violent when angry and drunk, she said.

“I know he has pulled a gun on someone before and has been to anger management classes,” she said.

The woman said White pulled a black hand gun, pushed past her and grabbed a visitor.
“I really thought he was going to kill [my friend],” she said.

White pressed the gun to the back of the visitor’s head and forced the man out of the house, she said. He returned inside and yelled at the woman until another friend called the police and drove away in a four-door white car.

Police found White at his Richmond Way home and arrested him. White is being charged with criminal trespass of property, burglary, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

No one was injured Sunday.

White was still in jail Monday afternoon and will have a second bail hearing Wednesday morning, the woman said.

Police estimate $250 in damages done to the woman’s door and molding around the frame.

The moral of this story: Be careful who you date. Perhaps do a background check. And above all, just don’t date the locs.
