LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The Richmond man who allegedly broke into Kentucky Representative Andy Barr's campaign headquarters last month called the office more than 30 times before breaking in.

According to new court records, 39-year-old Blake Lashelle called Barr's campaign office more than 35 times, and more than 15 times on Feb. 26, before breaking the door, yelling at staff, and causing more than $2,000 in damage.

Lashelle is also accused of pulling on the door several times before breaking the lock.

He's charged with first-degree criminal mischief and was ordered to have no contact with Barr's office.

Lashelle is due in court on April 9.
