A 21-year-old man of no fixed address is facing charges after he allegedly showed up at his ex-girlfriend's home, knocked on her window, and refused to leave when she asked him to go.

Police said they picked him up after they got a call about an unwanted man at a residence on Charing Cross Road in Harwich Township Sunday night.

The man was charged with uttering threats and criminal harassment for repeatedly sending messages to the woman and was taken into custody pending a bail hearing.
