WKRC-12 TV and WLWT-5 TV reported that Farmer appeared in court on Saturday.
Court documents indicate that Farmer allegedly broke into a victim’s house “with the purpose to commit therein a criminal offense.”
Both stations report that the victim in this case is Republican U.S. Congressional candidate Rosemary Oglesby-Henry.
The prosecutor said Farmer broke a garage window to get inside Oglesby-Henry’s house, WLWT-5 and WKRC-12 report.
Farmer was previously arrested and charged with domestic violence and assault in July, according to our media partner.
Oglesby-Henry was also named as the victim in this case. However, those charges were dismissed.
As previously reported by News Center 7, Oglesby-Henry was arrested in September after she allegedly pointed a gun at Farmer.
WKRC-12 reported that the prosecutor’s office said the pair had a relationship at one point and referred to them as “ex-business partners.”
News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.
