Ernesto Ortiz entered a home in Pahokee Wednesday hoping to make a sale.

There was one problem, authorities said: The home’s resident had not invited him in, and apparently wasn’t interested in what he had to say.

Ortiz, 38, of Pahokee, was arrested on charges of burglary with assault and simple battery after he allegedly attacked a man who declined to listen to his sales pitch.

The alleged attack happened at about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday at a home on the 100 block of Cypress Avenue. The resident told investigators Ortiz entered the house uninvited and tried to sell him some items. A Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office arrest report does not specify what those items were.

When Oritz was asked to leave, began to strike and kick the resident, deputies said. The alleged victim refused medical attention.

Ortiz remained in custody at the Palm Beach County Jail early Friday after a judge set his bail bond amount at $12,000.
