Police charged a man for allegedly living in his ex-girlfriend’s house when she was out of town.

Adam Hamlin, 30, 902 N. Dodge St. Apt. 7, was charged Dec. 28, 2009, with third-degree burglary.

Hamlin reportedly entered her apartment through a window, moved some of her belongings, stole some change, and ate her food.

When the woman returned home, she found the items and went to her mother’s house, police said.

According to police, Hamlin had a previous trespass warning for the same residence and had been told to stay away from the victim.

The estimated cost of the pilfered food and change was roughly $100.

Hamlin was also charged with public intoxication on March 6.

Third-degree burglary is a Class D felony generally punishable by a mandatory sentence of five years in prison and a maximum fine of up to $7,500.
