Police officers who live in local apartment complexes are often designated as courtesy officers for that community. They field calls and respond to problems in the area. One officer received a call from a resident who complained that people were running up and down the stairs in her building. He patrolled the area on foot and came across three subjects who were moving into an apartment.

The boys did not match the description the woman gave, however. She said they were in their 20’s and had barbed wire tattoos which meant they had all been in prison. None of these boys had tattoos so the officer asked them if maybe they witnessed anyone causing problems in the area. They said they had been there for 30 minutes and had not seen a thing.

At this point the officer left the area but was called back a short time later for a noise disturbance. The same boys that he spoke to earlier were still moving and he talked to them again. This time they said they woman approached them and asked what they were doing. They told her they were moving and she said “no crap?”

Although she was a little sarcastic to them she seemed harmless so one of the boys commented on her Boston Red sox shirt and said he was a Yankee’s fan.

That’s when she told them to “F off.”

The officer went to speak to her again and she said she was annoyed by the noise they were making. She said they “smelled like everything in the world that is not good.” She told the officer that the boys told her if she didn’t move they were going to push her out of the way. She said they tried to push her and the officer asked how and her response as “they all did.”

No surprise here but the officer noticed that this woman was hammered and had difficulty walking. She told him her legs were broken from cancer, however the report said she was off balanced, not deformed. Her story was hard to believe particularly because she went from crying to changing the subject to being just fine. He asked her what she would like to happen and she said she did not know. He told her he would ask the boys to wrap up the moving and not to have any contact with her. She was agreeable to that.

And with all things there is always far more to the story. It turns out the officer has had numerous run ins with this lady. Once she was arguing with people in the pool and told the officer they wanted to attack her. There’s always one crazy lady in the neighborhood.
