Charleston, SC – A man is facing a lawsuit after allegedly pranking his ex-girlfriend by hiding in her shower with a knife. The incident occurred on May 2 when Jackson Arnold, 25, sneaked into the woman’s residence while she was out.
According to court documents, Arnold concealed his face with the woman’s underwear and was not wearing pants or undergarments. The complaint alleges that he wielded a large knife as he approached the woman upon her return home.
The victim claims Arnold pressed his hands against her throat and choked her during a struggle. She managed to disarm him and fled to her parents’ house to call the police.
The victim’s attorney described Arnold’s actions as extreme and outrageous, justifying the civil assault claim. Court records show that Arnold faces multiple criminal charges, including assault and burglary.
Online court records indicate that Arnold’s case remains pending, with his last court appearance on October 17.
