A North Liberty man who reportedly knew he wasn’t allowed at a Swisher residence allegedly attempted to let himself in Saturday afternoon.

According to the arrest report, 61-year-old Kurt Kramer of Lily Pond Road reportedly called one of the victims and angrily inquired about property at the Swisher residence, and remarked about specific property.

Kramer then allegedly showed up after 3 pm and attempted to let himself in through three different entry doors. According to court records, Kramer was previously allowed two visits to retrieve all property and knew he had no legal right to be there. He has not lived at the Swisher residence since last December.

An officer on scene attempted to arrest Kramer, who disobeyed his orders to comply and had to be tasered to be taken into custody.

Kramer faces charges of Attempted Burglary and Interference with Official Acts. He could be sentenced to up to 25 months in jail if convicted on both counts.
