AI generatedThe court convicted the defendant of intentional property damage for breaking a lock in his ex-wife's shared apartment while intoxicated. Although the defendant claimed he could not enter the residence due to lost keys and lack of contact with his former spouse, the court rejected this argument based on police records showing he called for assistance before attempting forced entry.
