A man was arrested after assaulting his ex-girlfriend and her roommate early Saturday.
Police are seeking charges of assault, criminal trespassing, false reporting to law enforcement and two counts of failure to appear against Timothy M. Ochoa, 19, of the 2200 block of East Sixth Street.
The victims reportedly were walking home from a fraternity house about 1:30 a.m. when Ochoa drove by with another girl in his car. He spotted the victims and got out of the car to approach them.
When they began to run toward the fraternity house, Ochoa got back in the car, caught up to them and exited the car, running toward them. He then reportedly grabbed each girl by the arm and tried to talk to his ex-girlfriend who resisted him.
Fraternity members rescued the women.
Ochoa was arrested Tuesday in his ex-girlfriend's class in Social Sciences. He has been attending the class although he is not a student, police said.
Police noticed that Ochoa had a test paper in front of him that bore the name Jay Montieri. When asked about the test, Ochoa said he was registered under that name. Later when police asked him if he was registered under the other name, he told police Montieri was a friend whose test he was taking.
Police later discovered Jay Montieri is not registered as a student.
The victims first reported that Ochoa had visited their residence hall room several times between Sept. 1 and Sept. 10 to speak to his ex-girlfriend.
The ex-girlfriend told police Ochoa approached her several times on campus and asked why she would not talk to him. When she told him to leave her alone, Ochoa persisted before leaving.
The victims also received constant phone calls between 11:15 p.m. and 1:45 a.m. Sept. 15 and Sept. 16 from Ochoa who plead to talk to the ex-girlfriend, insulted her and then apologized in later calls.
