SALISBURY — A Salisbury man was charged with assault Friday after he climbed through a Taco Bell drive-through window during a fight with his girlfriend.

The Salisbury Police Department charged Ondre Santel Cox, 21, of the 400 block of East Cemetery Street, with misdemeanor assault on a female and two counts of misdemeanor injury to personal property.

According to a police report, the two had argued earlier. Cox went to Taco Bell, where his girlfriend works, and banged on the window in an attempt to get her cellphone. Police said the girlfriend refused to give Cox her phone. He climbed through the window and tried to pull her through it.

Cox did get her phone, which he damaged.

Police officers viewed the restaurant’s security footage of the incident. Cox was arrested at his home.

Cox remains in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $500 secured bond.

Cox was convicted in 2014 on misdemeanor charges of simple assault and larceny.
