Beautiful Saturday morning here and like most beautiful days somebody is going to fuck it up.
Dispatched to a domestic and when I get there it's not really a domestic just a room mate disagreement but most of the time it is dispatched as a domestic. Anyway the leaser of the apartment agrees to accept money from two friends of her boyfriend to stay in her apartment until March 1st. Today is the 2nd so now she wants them out and is in fact demanding that they leave right now. The other side explains that they cannot leave until Monday since one of them has to work 2 twelve hour shifts this weekend. While all of this is going on both girls are arguing back and forth like little kids. Now usually I can tolerate a little bickering back and forth because it can be quite funny sometimes. Not today, my tolerance level is ZERO simply because its a nice day out and nobody should be allowed to spoil a good day not even these 2 assholes.
I explained the law in regard to landlord/tenant situations to the caller and at first she didn't want to hear it but eventually got the gist of it. I told them both to avoid each other until Monday when the couple can move out and there will be peace in both of their little worlds.
I get in my car and drive 2 blocks to add some notes to the call on my computer and I get re-dispatched to the same address for an assault. So I go back there and the original caller now tells me that as soon as I left the other party pushed her and slammed a door on her hand and she wants her arrested for assault. At this point I figure this girl is going to do anything she can in order to get this other girl arrested or out of the apartment. I ask to see her "injured" hand and she shows me it and there is nothing there, no redness, no swelling no nothing. I explain that it has been approximately 5 minutes since I left and that if she had a door slammed on her hand there would be some sign of it. I ask her if she needs an ambulance and she declines. She then goes on to tell me that I have to arrest the other girl for assault and I politely (yea right) tell her that no such thing is going to happen but she can go to the Magistrate's officer to see if she will be able to take out a warrant herself for assault. Ok so I leave again this time heading back to the precinct to do a CYA report for a suspicious situation and not an assault.
Halfway through the report....you guessed it, I get called back to the apartment. Now the caller is stating that the other girl broke down the bathroom door and she wants her arrested for that. I tell her that since she is legally living there she has the right to the bathroom and if she damages any property of the apartment and if the apartment manager wants to press charges they will have to contact us. And by the way she didn't break the door she just jimmied the lock since it is a shared bathroom between two rooms and the caller locked the other girl out on purpose. One of my partners was there along with our Sergeant and we all told her the same thing.
We all leave and things go peacefully for the next couple of hours until about 10 minutes before the end of our shift. We get a call to the apartment this time for people fighting with knives and guns and that the boyfriend of the other girl is there and he was threatened by the original caller and her boyfriend....you all still following me? I know its pretty confusing at this point. We get there and the original caller and her boyfriend, who by the way has an unserved protective order against him, flee out the back of the apartment when we pull up out front. We speak to the other girls boyfriend and he tells us that he was there to get their stuff and was threatened by the original caller and her boyfriend and would we stand by while he gets some stuff. Oh he also tells us that his girlfriend was just arrested at her job on a warrant that the original caller took out on her.
Well all of a sudden the original caller comes in the apartment with a protection order against the other girl. She hears what the boyfriend is saying and she starts denying everything about the threats and blah blah blah. We tell her to shut her mouth and then my partner asks the boyfriend how did they threaten you and he says they waved a knife at him and said they were going to kill him. My partner says that he will do a report on it and that he can take warrants out on the original caller and her boyfriend for the threats that they made.
So in the end the original caller partially got what she wanted, the other girl was arrested but it was a releasable warrant and she was just given a court date and was never taken to lock up. However if the other girls boyfriend takes out a warrant and she is arrested she will probably spend the weekend in jail because of her criminal record. I sure hopes that happens, really I do. And the original caller's boyfriend, he never showed back up at the apartment, he's in the wind.
10-7 EOT 30 minutes after I should have been.
