Ex-Boyfriend Breaks in, Beats Up New Boyfriend, Breaks in Again

Man broke into the same apartment twice and is out on bond.

Thomas Eaddie 30, of Cleveland broke into his former girlfriend’s (and mother of his 3 children) Westown Blvd. apartment through the hallway door on June 18 at 11:25 p.m. and assaulted her new boyfriend (a 43-year-old Parma man). The victim declined medical treatment for bruises and abrasions; Eaddie fled the scene. Charges of Aggravated Burglary, Felonious Assault and DV were pending.

Then, on June 20 at 2:49 a.m, Eaddie came back and broke into the apartment again, this time through the patio slider. He was arrested inside the unoccupied apartment and faces additional charges of Burglary and Possession of Criminal Tools. The occupants were staying elsewhere due to fear of Eaddie.

Mr. Eaddie has been bound over the Grand Jury on $100,000 bond and will be transferred to the County jail. Eaddie is out on bond for an unrelated April incident in Westlake where he faces drug trafficking and firearms charges. He was also wanted for failure to pay fines on further unrelated January Westlake misdemeanor convictions for Menacing and Carrying Various Weapons.
