The ex-boyfriend, 32-year-old Blake Joseph Strangarity, had supposedly contacted the Lititz woman over a bracelet, the NCLRPD explained.
Just four days after Strangarity's birthday, on December 20th, 2023 NLCRPD Officers went to conduct the welfare check at his ex-girlfriend's home in the first block of Green Acre Road Warwick Township. While at her home, the officers confirmed the texts and calls from Strangarity, according to the release.
During the text argument over the bracelet, "Strangarity threatened to kill her and she was fearful for her wellbeing," as stated in the release.
