OSKALOOSA – An Oskaloosa woman has been charged with felony burglary after police say she entered her ex-husband’s apartment without permission and proceeded to strike him in the head with a lamp and cause damage to the residence.

According to court records, at around 11:15pm on August 2nd, 40-year-old Sarah Rollins entered her ex-husband’s apartment on Suffolk Road. The door to enter the apartment was unlocked at the time. Upon entering the apartment, Rollins allegedly attempted to crawl into the victim’s bed while he was sleeping.

Court records show that the victim tried to get Rollins to leave, but Rollins then picked up a lamp and struck him in the side of the head with it, causing a small cut behind his ear. The victim also allegedly sustained small scratches on the left side of his head and face as a result of the altercation.

Additionally, Rollins is alleged to have torn a screen off the window of the victim’s bedroom, along with ripping down curtains and shoving a cabinet, which broke a window in the apartment. Rollins fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.

Court documents indicate that the victim was previously married to Rollins and had a child together. The victim has a no-contact order against Rollins that was enacted in May, stemming from a previous domestic abuse incident. Authorities say Rollins has been arrested on three separate occasions for violating the no-contact order, most recently on August 2nd, only hours before this incident took place.

Rollins was arrested on August 4 for this incident and charged with first-degree burglary, a class B felony, as well as domestic abuse assault and trespassing, both serious misdemeanors, and violation of a no contact or protective order. She was lodged in the Mahaska County Jail with a $25,500 bond.
