An eastern Pennsylvania man accused of breaking into a home where his ex-wife was sleeping and tearing off her wig has been sentenced to 11 months to two years in Northampton County Prison.
The Morning Call of Allentown says 35-year-old Darren Best of Bethlehem pleaded guilty Monday to robbery and simple assault.
Police said Best got into the house March 21 through a kitchen window and woke Micia Best, who fled outside. Authorities said he grabbed her there, pushed her to the ground, hit her in the face and pulled her hair, removing the wig. Police said he also tried to
take her purse, saying he needed money.
Judge Michael Koury also ordered Best to remain on probation for six years, pass random drug tests and get psychological treatment.
