CLEARFIELD — A Clearfield man was arrested over the weekend after police say he barged into a neighbor's residence and assaulted two elderly people while he was "very drunk."
Ace Hackleman, 29, was booked into the Davis County Jail for investigation of burglary, two counts of assault and intoxication.
On Sunday, two elderly residents near 200 South and 450 East in Clearfield told police that their neighbor, Hackleman, had "barged through their front door and then exited the residence," according to a police booking affidavit.
Moments later, however, Hackleman returned and entered the couple's bedroom, "where he proceeded to strike the female victim four times on the head with his fists. He then pushed the male victim to the ground," the affidavit states.
Police responding to the scene found Hackleman in his own home. Officers noted that he "was swaying back and forth, and slurring his speech. Ace stated he was very drunk and possessed by a demon."
Hackleman was placed under arrest after being questioned.
