Go to your local district court and file an anti-harassment protection order, which requires her to stop harassing you and to stay a certain distance away from you. Since she is not on the lease, she has no right to occupy the premises, and the order ought to be issued.

The cops will allow her to come by and pick up some stuff on a short term basis and then you and she will have to work something out to allow her to get the rest of her possessions (furniture, clothing, etc.)
