A Hagerstown man was ordered to remain held without bond Wednesday on charges that he broke into an ex-girlfriend’s apartment and assaulted her and her mother.
In denying bail, Washington County District Court Judge Terry A. Myers noted that Terrence Allen Jennings failed to appear in court three times last year and that he has a previous assault conviction.
Jennings, 26, of Apple Blossom Court, is charged with two counts of second-degree assault, third- and fourth-degree burglary, malicious destruction of property and trespass, according to court records.
At 12:48 a.m. Tuesday, Hagerstown police went to a disturbance call in the first block of South Burhans Boulevard. A woman told an officer that Jennings, her daughter’s ex-boyfriend, broke a door window and entered her apartment, the charging document said. The woman told police she ordered Jennings to leave, but he refused.
Jennings pushed the woman and punched, slapped and pushed her daughter, the document said.
The daughter told police she had been texting Jennings the previous night and he responded that he was coming over, but she went to bed after several hours passed.
The daughter’s child was asleep on the couch when she heard a noise and saw Jennings reaching through the broken window to unlock the door, the document said. The child witnessed the assaults and said Jennings refused to leave for about 25 minutes, the document said.
All three told police they were afraid to remain in the apartment because Jennings said he was coming back, the document said.
Police were later called to the 400 block of West Antietam Street for a complaint and found Jennings, though he gave them a false name, the document said.
