Irregular homeowner issues

8:50 p.m., June 26, 2010, 480 block of Robb Way.

Police were called by a woman who said her ex-boyfriend was attempting to throw her out of her own house. When police arrived the man was gone. The woman said the two had broken up two months prior, but today the man returned and told her the house was now his. He attempted to throw her out physically. Police later located the man, who said he believed he had the right to take the house. The man was arrested.

Who’s on first?

4:12 p.m., June 27, 2010, 460 block of Fenton Street.

A woman called police, saying she was being harassed by a man over the phone and she told officers she knew there were warrants out for his arrest. When police went to the address provided by the woman, a man answered the door and said he did not know the woman police were talking about and told them he was home alone. When police searched the home they found other people hiding in various places. All the people in the home gave different names, but some had the others’ ID cards in their wallets. Since two people provided false names during the investigation, they were issued summonses. The man who was allegedly harassing the woman over the phone also was in the home and was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
