Burglar Breaks Into Ex-Girlfriend's Home to Steal Money via CashAPP

SAN ANTONIO, TX –– A 31-year-old San Antonio man is facing felony charges after breaking into his ex-girlfriend's home.

According to court documents, on December 23rd Austin Stanley Gallagher broke into the victim's home by prying burglar bars off her bedroom window.

Once Gallagher was inside the home, he grabbed the woman's cellphone and began sending himself money on CashAPP.

When the victim woke up and confronted Gallagher, he pinned her arms on the bed to keep her from the phone.

Gallagher then went to the living room and the victim grabbed a second cellphone and called 9-1-1.

This further upset Gallagher and he assaulted the victim again before leaving the house. 

The victim then went to work and contacted the police once again.

Gallagher was arrested and booked into the Bexar County Jail. He was charged with burglary of habitat with intent to commit assault, a second-degree felony.

His bond has been set at $25,000.
