Burton Garoy Charged for Assaulting Ex-Girlfriend

A 21-year-old man is in jail tonight after he broke into the home of his ex-common law wife. At 6:30 on Tuesday morning, Burton Garoy allegedly broke into Graciela Castillo's house on Iguana Street. She says that he waited for her as she came out of the shower, and then pointed what appeared to be a pen gun at her and threatened to shoot her. But he didn't, instead, she claims he ran off and jacked her cell phone in the process. He was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated burglary and because a firearm was used, he was remanded.

In court, Garoy adamantly refuted the charges saying his ex made it all up. One month ago, he was accused of breaking into the same home but at that time the charges were dropped.
