A domestic violence defendant was charged with attempted threats to do bodily harm. The defendant allegedly yelled, ”I am going to break down this door and kill you” at a woman while he was being supervised by a police officer to remove his belongings from her home. 

The defendant had previously appeared in presentments on Aug. 23 on another domestic violence case where he was ordered to stay away from the woman, prompting the police escort. He was held at DC Jail.
