Migliorini, who served as mayor from 1988 to 2001 and was re-elected in 2015, attempted to violate a protection order issued by the state of Florida when he broke into a Streetsboro home in August 2018 where his former girlfriend was visiting a friend, the homeowner.

As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dropped felony charges of violating a protection order and burglary, court records show. Migliorini, 66, faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Migliorini resigned as mayor in July citing an April 2018 incident outside a Palm Beach, Florida restaurant in which he pulled his girlfriend’s hair and slapped her, according to police.

He was charged with misdemeanor battery and is scheduled to appear in court April 8 for a plea conference, Palm Beach County court records show.
