Guess she just got tired of waiting. Michelle Brooks, 33, not only stalked her ex, according to court papers, but also allegedly called him four times on his cellphone between 8 p.m. on Feb. 28 and 3 a.m. on Feb. 29 and at one point warned, “You better not come out the building because I got something for you!”
In another call, she yelled, “I’m gonna get some people to f–k you up!” court records say.
But when her former flame took her at her word and stayed indoors, Brooks, on March 14, broke into his apartment in the Monroe Houses, on Story Avenue in Soundview, and smacked him around, the papers say.
She was charged with aggravated harassment, criminal trespass and misdemeanor assault.
