Eighth Ave. E. at 12:16 a.m. Sunday. Officers were called about an unwanted guest and found Schroeder in the garage. The victim said that he unlocked the garage and broke in through the door in the garage.

Officers were called back to the residence a short time later after the victim said she kept hearing knocks on her door and Schroeder had stayed next door. The victim decided she wanted to pursue trespassing charges and when she told Schroeder he punched out a window with a piece of glass hitting the victim in the face. The victim was treated and Schroeder was taken into custody after he was found riding a bike with injuries to his hand. He was transported to Skiff Medical Center where he refused treatment.
