A 30-year-old Hebron man is facing multiple felony charges after police say he forced his way into his ex-girlfriend’s Hobart home, leading to a violent confrontation that ended with him being stabbed.
According to court documents, Tylor Worley, 30, of Hebron, was taken into custody on April 1, 2026, following an incident at a residence on North Delaware Street in Hobart.
Officers were dispatched around 10:22 p.m. for a report of a break-in involving a stabbing. Upon arrival, police observed an active struggle at the front door, where Worley was partially inside the residence while a male and female attempted to force him out.
Police intervened and pulled Worley away from the home. Court documents state he resisted commands and physically fought with officers before being subdued and taken into custody after a taser was used.
Officers observed Worley had a stab wound to his left thigh, described as approximately 2–3 inches wide with moderate bleeding. He was transported to a hospital for treatment and later transferred due to the severity of the injury.
According to the investigation, the female resident told police she and her boyfriend were inside a bedroom when she heard a door open and believed someone had entered the home. When the boyfriend went to investigate, he encountered Worley—identified as her ex-boyfriend—armed with a knife.
A physical altercation followed, during which Worley allegedly placed the male victim in a chokehold while holding the knife. Court documents state the male victim appeared to be struggling to breathe and was close to losing consciousness.
The female then retrieved a kitchen knife and stabbed Worley in the leg in an attempt to stop the attack. The struggle continued as both occupants attempted to remove Worley from the home until officers arrived.
Both individuals sustained cuts to their hands, which they told police occurred during the struggle over the knife.
Court records show Worley had previously been issued a trespass warning for the residence in June 2025 and was also the subject of an active protection order involving the female resident at the time of the incident.
Lodged in the Lake County Jail.
