Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes indicated that officers found evidence that someone indeed tried to force entry into the apartment.
Madison.com reports that Barnes also pointed out there have been “general disturbance” calls to the apartment complex before, but he was not sure if those calls were ever in connection with the apartment in which the alleged intrusion occurred.
