A Columbia man is in jail after breaking into his wife’s home.

According to a probable cause statement, Autenreith and his wife had been separated for three years at the time he broke into her home.

The documents said Autenreith admitted to hitting his wife with an open hand twice and to returning later in the day and kicking down her door.
Autenrith has a $50,000 cash only bond.
