A Weatherford man is free on a $10-thousand dollar bond and is awaiting his next court date after allegedly kicking in the door of his ex-girlfriend after she received a protective order against him.
According to a probable cause affidavit, on an earlier visit when 25-year-old Jesse Lee Jennings came to the alleged victim’s residence while she was sleeping, the suspect told her he was going to kill her and bury her in front of her children. She also told police that Jennings had made copies of her keys without her permission.
Jennings is charged with burglary in the first degree as well as violating a protective order.
The former girlfriend told investigators that she’d received a protective order against Jennings, but she had messaged him a couple of weeks earlier wanting to get closure with him and ended up talking to him on a number of occasions.
The latest conversation ended in an argument via text message. About an hour later, Jennings showed up at her residence in the 200 block of North Caddo Street in Weatherford. That’s when Jennings allegedly kicked in her door and found her in the home.
Somehow, the victim managed to run to another room and found her phone and mace. After Jennings was sprayed, he ran from the residence, but was found later.
Police observed pieces of the door laying on the ground in front of the residence and food found slung in the kitchen area. The affidavit also says that the defendants boots have a shaped pattern on the bottoms which is consistent with the boot markings found on the outside of the entry way at the victim’s residence.
Jennings bonded out of jail on November 14 after being charged with the felony and is due in court on December 8 for a preliminary hearing conference.
