A man allegedly broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home Sunday after she didn’t respond to his text messages.
At about 1 a.m., Joseph Theophilus Mack II, 28, of Newberry, Florida, peered through the woman’s bedroom window, according to a Gainesville Police arrest report. He saw her with another man.
He then punched and broke the window and climbed inside, the report said. Mack repeatedly asked her what she was doing and grabbed her cellphone as he walked out the front door.
She followed him outside, and Mack punched her twice, the report said. As she was on the ground, Mack took off her necklace and then drove away. He was stopped by police less than a mile away.

Her left ear was cut and the left side of her face was bruised and swollen, the report said. Her upper body was covered in Mack’s blood.
Mack had cuts on his hands from breaking the window, the report said.
He told police he wanted to check on the woman because she was not answering his text messages, the report said. He said he only knocked on the window and it broke by accident.
Mack was charged with unarmed robbery and battery during a burglary, the report said.
Mack bonded out from the Alachua County Jail on a $25,000 bond on Sunday.
He declined to comment.
