CRIMINAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SIMPLE ASSAULT
An especially frantic Saint Clair Road woman told police that her ex-boyfriend had assaulted her while trying to visit a child they have together. The woman’s story changed several times, wherein the man either forced his way into the apartment or had come in through a back window. The woman said he came in and struck her while she was eating crabs in the kitchen, and that she was afraid he was still in the apartment. But, she blocked the police from entering her residence, and then said he was hiding in her bushes. She would also not give the names of all the children in her apartment that were present during what she said was an attack.

Telephone calls, harassing or obscene

The employee said another man had called into the restaurant and was trying to book a prepaid dinner reservation for 20 people under the diner’s name. The diner told the caller he would not pay for the man’s food, and to stop doing this. The caller responded by calling the diner “cheap” and “fat,” and then threatened to kill the diner the next time he saw him. The diner said he knew the caller and that he lives in a nearby motel.
