The man who broke into the home of XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, and has allegedly been stalking her, has officially been charged. According to The Blast, the Florida Assistant State Attorney has filed 5 criminal charges against Donovan Marlon Banton. Court documents read that Banton has been charged with damage to structure/dwelling, burglary, criminal mischief, possession of burglary tools, and stalking. This news comes after the court’s recent order that Banton undergo a mental examination to determine whether he is competent to stand trial.

Banton has been accused of stalking the late rapper’s mother over the course of several months. A police report reveals that Banton allegedly drove from New York to Florida on a few separate occasions in an attempt to make contact with Bernard. During his last attempted intrusion, he allegedly tried to get Bernard to open the door of her home and threw a brick through her back window, before retrieving the brick and smashing the window of her Range Rover. The police were called, and officers found Banton with a small ax, a pry bar, and two pairs of gloves.

During questioning, Banton admitted that the reason he has been trying to contact Bernard is because he has supposedly been receiving “sadistic messages” from X in his dreams. He believed that the only way to put an end to these “sadistic games” was to find X’s mother. Bernard was granted a criminal protective order against Banton, who has entered a not guilty plea to all charges. This developing legal battle follows Bernard’s separate custody dispute with X’s baby mother, Jenesis Sanchez, which has officially reached settlement.

Last week, reports surfaced that XXXTentacion’s mother had an alleged stalker on her hands who was trying to break into her home on several occasions. The 24-year old stalker, Donavon Banton, allegedly drove from New York to Florida a couple different times and has been stalking X’s mom’s house, trying to get her to open the door and being caught trying to climb through a window another time. He says he’s been receiving “sadistic messages” from XXXtentacion in his dreams and the only way to stop them was to contact XXXTentacion’s mother. The man also believes its X’s mom, Cleopatra Bernard, who is using witchcraft on him and speaking with X to do this.

So now not only was Cleopatra Bernard granted a restraining order last week, but a judge has now ordered the man to undergo mental examination. TheBlast reports that a Florida judge appointed a doctor to complete a competency evaluation on Mr. Banton, who’s actually been sitting in his jail cell since his arrest on January 24th.

The criminal case will be stayed until the outcome of the examination to determine if he is fit for trial. We’ll keep you posted moving forward. RIP X.
