Domestic: On May 31, 2013 officers were called by a neighbor to a domestic dispute in progress in one of the apartment units near hers. Upon arrival officers went to the unit where the problem was and could hear a female shouting loudly and slamming doors. Officers knocked on the door and the door came open revealing two adults inside. One officer spoke with each party. It was determined that the female wanted to talk to the male about their relationship and he didn’t want to talk about it. He went into the bathroom to get away from her which made her mad so she was yelling loudly at him for a while when the police showed up. Both parties advised they had not been assaulted and that it was just verbal. Both parties were advised that their neighbors can hear them and that the yelling has got to stop. Both agreed to stop the yelling and said they would talk rationally about it later.
