Perham, MN – A North Dakota man is in custody after breaking into a home in Perham.
44-year-old Jonathan Lee Allard of Mandan, North Dakota was arrested Tuesday night after a homeowner in Perham reported that someone had broken into their house.
Prosecutors say the victim was sitting in his living room, watching soccer on TV, when the front door blew open and Allard came inside. Allard reportedly grabbed the victim’s shoulder and was pushed away. The victim said Allard kept pushing and forcing his way deeper into the living room after being told to leave. Eventually, the homeowner was able to force Allard out of the home.
As Perham Police arrived at the scene, one officer saw Allard walking away from the home. They had dealt with him a few hours prior, as he had been intoxicated and harassing patrons at McDonald’s.
Allard was taken into custody and made his first court appearance Thursday morning. He has been charged with 1st degree burglary and a variety of misdemeanors.
