David Michael Jordan is also charged with making terroristic threats in the Sept. 5 incident.

A Minneapolis man has been charged with burglary and making terroristic threats after police say he broke into a Burnsville woman’s home and sent her threatening text messages and phone calls.

David Michael Jordan, also known as David Michael Shaugobay, 22, is charged with three felonies: first-degree burglary and second-degree burglary, each of which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $35,000 fine, and making terroristic threats, which has a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim called Burnsville police on Sept. 4 and told them she had received about 25 phone calls from Jordan that day, saying he wanted to meet and talk.

She said the text messages and phone calls started to become threatening when Jordan told her he was going to come to her home, kick in her door and punch her in the face, the complaint says.

The victim told police that she wasn’t home at the time, and she had received a call from Jordan in which the caller ID showed that the call was coming from her home phone.

Police went to the victim’s home and found the back door kicked in, with the deadbolt broken out of the door and lying on the floor. Her home phone was off the cradle and appeared to have been damaged.

The next day, the victim called police again and said Jordan had broken into her house, and she found him standing in her living room. After he left, she noticed her cell phone missing and Jordan’s phone left behind. She called again a few hours later and reported that Jordan had returned to retrieve his phone.

Police stopped a car driven by Jordan and found that his driver’s license had been revoked. He admitted to police that he had gone to the victim’s home, and that he had sent her phone calls and text messages.

Jordan admitted telling the victim that he was going to kick in her door, but he denied doing it. Police found the victim’s phone in Jordan’s car, and a shoeprint found on the kicked-in door matched Jordan’s shoes, according to the complaint.

Jordan – whose criminal history includes a conviction for criminal sexual conduct in 2005 – is free on bond. An omnibus hearing in his case is scheduled Nov. 28 in Dakota County District Court in Hastings.
