Owens is accused of breaking into a woman’s home at near Blackjack Mountain Road, damaging a door frame valued at $700. The incident followed a confrontation with the woman at a gas station earlier that evening.
Authorities say Owens assaulted the woman inside the home and threatened the woman, saying, “b**** I’ll f*** you up, this is not going to stop. [redacted]” This led to charges of residential burglary, a Class B felony, and terroristic threatening, a Class A misdemeanor.

You really should report ALL the news. I don’t think Matt was right how he handled it but y’all made this sound like she was just some random lady and he accosted her at a gas station then broke in her her house. That was his house as well about a week before that. Theyve been on and off 6 or more years and they have a kid together. So these charges are a little messed up. She had strange man around his kids. This was a domestic thing not at all the way they are making this sound damn
