SPRINGFIELD - Springfield police charged a 27-year-old city man with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and other charges following a break-in at his ex-girlfriend's Summit Street home.

The suspect slapped the woman with a diary and pushed her into a mailbox, Capt. Eugene C. Dexheimer said.



Police arrested the suspect, Miguel Valentin, 27, of 19 Summit St., Apt. 1, about 1:20 a.m., Wednesday. The incident occurred the day before, Dexheimer said.

Valentin was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering in the daytime with intent to commit a felony and resisting arrest, police documents state.

Wolf Security News: As I have stated before the daytime is not safer than the nitetime. In this instance, a door viewer with a deadbolt protecting the victim could have helped alot. Know when its time to upgrade your security in your life. It will keep you out of the news.
