Upon arrival, the officers could hear shouting from a nearby apartment.

The officers went into the apartment where the disturbance was reported to find a woman. That woman said approximately 45 minutes earlier, her daughter returned to the apartment “visibly upset.” And that the family was under a tremendous amount of stress due to an impending eviction notice.

Alcohol also reportedly played a role in the incident, which also included the woman’s husband, who at this point went back to sleep.

Although there was no evidence of physical violence, all members of the family were requested to be quieter during evening hours due to their proximity to other neighbors.

Nov. 15, 1:36 p.m. – Police discovered a suspicious man walking down Westlands Avenue holding a clipboard.

The man was identified while speaking to a resident, with the clipboard man asking if he could talk to the officer after talking to the resident.

This was unacceptable to the officer who demanded to talk with the clipboard man immediately.

At this point, the clipboard man called the officer “rude” and “inappropriate” and showed his solicitor’s license.

The officer replied that solicitors are required to show their solicitor’s license upon request.

Nov. 16, 11:51 a.m. – A resident on Elm Street reported that their home had been egged for the sixth time since August.

Nov. 18, 12:49 p.m. – An officer was dispatched for a verbal dispute at Chelmsford Commons on Littleton Road.

There the officer met with a woman who was upset for allegedly not getting an application for a mobile home approved, and wanted to ask if she could get any additional information on why she was rejected.

Then the officer asked the manager on site for more information, who said she sent the application along to the company that owns the trailer park and that they are responsible for determining who can be allowed to purchase property within the development.

Although the woman demanded to see the manager’s supervisor, the manager said that her supervisor would have no more information, and that information on the rejection would be available on a letter sent to the woman.

A copy of the letter was found after a search, saying that the woman did not have a good credit rating.

The woman was instructed to contact her credit agency.
