Hunter allegedly broke into Bass’s home on Sunday by shattering a glass door. The mayor and her family were inside at the time of the break in. They were left unharmed.

Hunter allegedly left blood-stains in the home and caused $5,000 to $10,000 in damage.

Gascon claims that Hunter was targeting the mayor.

Hunter has a criminal background, which includes serving seven years in prison for a 2015 attack.

He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Tuesday. He is being held on $100,000 bail.
