The victim, a 17 year old female juvenile of Woodbridge, reported to police that the accused, an acquaintance, entered her residence without permission. Once inside, a verbal altercation ensued between the two parties which escalated. During the encounter, the accused grabbed the victim's cell phone and threw it against a wall damaging it.
