A man from Florida was discovered lying in bed with his ex-girlfriend while she was asleep, after breaking into her home by squeezing through a “dog door.” He reportedly used the same exit after the victim struck him in the face with her elbow, according to police.

Caelan Ross, 26, is being charged with burglary and assault following the incident that occurred on Sunday, May 4, in Escambia County, as detailed in his arrest report that was accessed by Law&Crime.

He allegedly assaulted her when she asked him to leave, leading her to defend herself with an elbow strike, as per the arrest report from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

“The victim reported waking up in her room to find her ex-boyfriend, Caelan Ross, lying next to her in bed,” the arrest document states. “She turned on the room’s light and had a brief exchange with Ross, ultimately instructing him to leave. When Ross refused, he grabbed her by the wrist and threw her onto the bed.”

Ross allegedly got on top of the woman and she began to struggle, elbowing him in the process. “Ross then left the residence the same way he had entered, which was through the large dog door at the front of the residence,” the arrest report alleges.

The victim “appeared to be upset about the situation” and told police she wanted to press charges, the report notes.

Police were called to the scene, but they couldn’t find Ross initially.
