Caelan Ross (Escambia County Jail).

A Florida man was caught lying in bed with his sleeping ex-girlfriend after breaking into her home through a “dog door,” which he also exited through after being nailed in the nose by the victim with an elbow, cops say.

Caelan Ross, 26, is facing burglary with assault charges for the alleged break-in on Sunday, May 4, in Escambia County, according to his arrest report, which has been reviewed by Law&Crime. Authorities say Ross was caught by the victim after she woke up in her room to find him lying in bed next to her. He allegedly attacked the woman after she told him to leave, prompting her to throw the elbow, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report said.

“[The victim] stated she woke up in her room to see her ex-boyfriend, Caelan Ross, lying in her bed next to her,” the arrest report says. “[The victim] stood up and turned the room light on. [The victim] and Ross had a short conversation that ended with [the victim] telling Ross to leave. Ross refused and grabbed [the victim] by her wrist and threw her on the bed.”

Ross allegedly got on top of the woman and she began to struggle, elbowing him in the process. “Ross then left the residence the same way he had entered, which was through the large dog door at the front of the residence,” the arrest report alleges.

The victim “appeared to be upset about the situation” and told police she wanted to press charges, the report notes.

Police were called to the scene, but they couldn’t find Ross initially.
