“He broke in my house. He came through the window, broke in my house, broke the window, broke the blind down because I refused to let him in the house,” a 911 caller told dispatchers.

As News Center 7 previously reported, officers responded around 3 p.m to N. Willow Glen Avenue near S. First Street.

The suspect has been identified as 58-year-old Allan Argast, and was known to the victim, according to the Tipp City Police Department.
