A Port St. Lucie cable man was arrested on charges of stalking his ex-girlfriend after he allegedly broke into her apartment complex and cut off her cable.
According to the woman, she had been involved with 47-year-old John Santilli for two and a half years before ending the relationship two months ago.
The woman told St. Lucie County Sheriff’s deputies that she moved and asked Santilli not to contact her but she had received several phone calls and notes from him. She has also had several UPS packages stolen and her television cable cut off, according to a sheriff’s report.
On Monday the woman said her cable had been cut off again. She told investigators Santilli admitted he had cut it and to fix it would need to enter her apartment.
On Tuesday, a sheriff’s deputy got a call from the property manager of the woman’s apartment complex who reported that Santilli was on the property and trying to enter the meter room to his ex-girlfriend’s building. The manager said Santilli, a subcontractor for Comcast Cable, was required to log in first with the management office but hadn’t done so.
When the deputy arrived, Santilli was in the meter room, whose door had been pried open, according to the report.
Santilli faces two charges of felony burglaries and misdemeanor charges of stalking and property damage.

It’s always interesting to try to find out both sides of a story. Google this guy, and you find out that he was involved in the death of his ‘friend’ in north Florida. He also was arrested previously for crimes against his girlfriend. Look at the dude. Do you want him living in your neighborhood???
