MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Charges are now filed against a Milwaukee man accused of breaking into a home on the city's east side, firing a gun, and attempting to sexually assault a woman the morning of Feb. 26.

Prosecutors say the man, identified as 26-year-old Sincere Blake, approached a repairman outside the home near Terrace and Kenilworth around 9 a.m. and asked how many people were inside. He had his hand in his sweatshirt, according to the witness, and said, "I'm going to (expletive) this shit up," before ordering the man to leave.

One of two women in the home at the time told investigators she was in a room on the second floor when a stranger suddenly appeared. She described him as a large man with a black handgun, slurred speech, red eyes, and a joint in his mouth, according to the criminal complaint, and said he told her to put her hands up, saying, "Show me what I'm looking for."

When the other woman in the home began to yell, the complaint says Blake fired a round into the window above her head and pointed the gun toward both victims. Prosecutors say he then exposed himself and attempted to sexually assault one of the women.

When police arrived, the complaint says Blake was in the driveway with one of the victims, allegedly preparing to take her vehicle. Officers issued demands, which they say Blake refused to follow. He was arrested in possession of a loaded Glock that police determined was stolen.

When questioned, Blake told investigators he'd taken ecstasy that morning and that work wasn't going well, so he left to go to the lakefront. He admitted to telling the women in the home he wanted "what's owed to him" and identified himself in surveillance footage but claimed he didn't remember firing a weapon. 

Blake is charged with attempted first-degree sexual assault, armed burglary, second-degree recklessly endangering safety, false imprisonment, and possession of a firearm as a felon.

Records show he was sentenced to two years of probation in September of 2024 after pleading guilty to possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver. 

An initial court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday morning, March 4.
