US: South Carolina Man Ambushes and Threatens Ex-Girlfriend With Knife by Hiding in Her Shower, Gets Caught As Victim Learns It Was Her Former Boyfriend; Accused Arrested

South Carolina, May 8: A South Carolina man was recently arrested for allegedly breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home in the United States. The accused, identified as Jackson Collum Arnold (25), was booked on several charges, including first-degree burglary, assault and battery, and possession of a weapon. It is learned that Arnold allegedly ambushed his ex-girlfriend in her home while hiding in the shower.

According to a report by the Charleston Police Department, Arnold’s alleged act was meant to be a “prank” to ease tensions with his ex-girlfriend after an argument. A report in People said that Arnold allegedly broke into his ex-girlfriend’s garage apartment just before midnight Sunday, May 4.

It is also learned that Arnold was wearing only a pair of his ex-girlfriend’s bike shorts over his face and a hat. The report also claimed that Arnold was naked from the waist down when he confronted his former girlfriend with a knife. In her statement, the victim told cops that she feared for her life when her ex-boyfriend held a knife to the side of her head and tried to slash her throat before choking her.

During the alleged attack, the woman managed to remove the bike shorts which Arnold wore over his face and managed to identify the accused as her “on-again-off-again” boyfriend. In his defence, Arnold said that his intention was to “surprise” his ex-girlfriend and “lighten the mood” after a fight took place over a message earlier in the night.
