The man who allegedly broke into a Nanaimo family’s home and squatted in it for weeks has officially been charged.
Sean Damien Kulai, 40, has been charged with one count of ‘break and enter a dwelling with intent to commit mischief’ after he was arrested on Sept. 7 for allegedly breaking into and squatting inside a Nanaimo home.
Kulai remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court next Sept. 15. He is also scheduled to make court appearances for charges of possessing stolen property and breaching probation stemming from separate incidents that occurred earlier this year.
In 2003, a then 22-year-old Kulai pleaded guilty to assault, possessing a weapon for dangerous purposes, and unauthorized possession of a firearm after he physically attacked his grandparents at their home in Lantzville, according to the now-defunct Nanaimo Daily News. The newspaper also reported that the incident began after his grandparents caught him shooting holes in their garage door.
