The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Ian N. Petty (DOB: 02-14-1984) in connection with a home invasion and domestic abuse battery incident that occurred on March 1, 2019 in the 2800 block of South Liberty Street.
The victim told police that she had returned to her residence to find her ex-boyfriend, identified as Petty, reportedly inside of the residence and the residence having been ransacked.

The victim noted that she and Petty had ended their relationship two years ago, and that there were several domestic abuse battery incidents, both documented and undocumented, that occurred during their relationship.
