A Racine man is accused of breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home and stealing her father’s ashes.

Ronnie Ball is charged with burglary, threats to injure or accuse of a crime, and criminal damage to property.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim told police she had been dating Ball, but when the incident happened that had not dated for two to three months.

She received a text message that he had broken into her home and stolen her father’s ashes.

He allegedly told her that he planned on urinating on her father’s ashes if she did not give him money.

He needed the money because he was trying to leave town because of a Department of Corrections warrant.
