9-1-1 Hang-up

Most 9-1-1 hang-up calls are accidents. Last Friday after clearing my robbery call I was dispatched to a residence where there had been four 9-1-1 hang-up calls. That kind of makes it look like there could be a problem at the residence. It appeared like there was more of a problem because of the residence it was coming from.

There is a history of problems at the house I was going to. A known prostitute's boyfriend lives there and they regularly get into fights over sex and drugs. In fact one time she accused him of sexual assault. During the alleged assault she almost bit his penis off. Detectives determined that there had not been a sexual assault, that she had gotten mad at him during sex and had bitten his penis. Because of all the problems these people have the man has a protective order against the woman. That means she cannot come to his house or near him. She violates it all the time. Usually when the man invites her over for drugs and or sex.

Anyway the woman showed up Thursday night and they had their fun. Friday morning after the fun was over they got into a fight. The man knew the woman was not supposed to be there so he called 9-1-1 knowing she would be arrested.

That's exactly what happened. My assist officer found them walking down the street about a block from the house. He verified that the protective order was good and arrested her. Too bad there is not a law that lets us arrest someone for allowing the protective order to be violated.
