According to police, the woman opened the door and saw Janniere trying to enter, so she pushed him back with a broom stick and told him to leave. She locked the door but Janniere allegedly kept trying to get in.
Police found two double-edged knives on Janniere, and he was arrested. The Fitchburg resident is charged with attempt to commit a crime (armed burglary), two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace.
No other information was released, and it's unclear when Janniere is due in court.
