Police reports 2011

  In mid-2011,  The Ex called 911 from someone else's number; she said there was someone ringing the bell looking for another woman.  The Ex said her husband was yelling with the other person and then closed the door.  This happened at 3am; she had placement of the kids at this time.

  Two days after this, another report was generated.  Two people called the police around 7pm, saying they had witnessed a man in a dark car hit a mailbox, breaking the mailbox and damaging the side of his vehicle.  The male witness said the passenger side mirror was dangling from the car as it drove away; the male witness wrote down the license plate as he remembered it.

  Almost three hours later, Boyfriend called the police to report damage to his vehicle. (What a coincidence!)  The same officer was dispatched (Seriously, the exact.  Same.  Officer.  New City has a population of over 60,000.  How do you get the exact same officer???  I probably shouldn't, but I can't help but chuckle whenever I consider the irony of this all)  The officer arrived, noted there was a dent in the frame between the windshield and passenger side door, and that the passenger side mirror was dangling off the side of the vehicle (Wow, this happens a lot in New City!)  Boyfriend told the officer the last time he saw his vehicle undamaged was at 6:45am that morning; The Ex had left to go to McDonald's and noticed the damage.  Boyfriend said he called the police right after The Ex had noticed the damage to the car (Boyfriend called the police at 9:54pm)  Boyfriend said that the car was parked in the driveway for the entire day and no one had driven it; the officer noted that Boyfriend was giving him short answers, avoiding eye contact and got irritated when he was asked detailed questions. (Interesting.  You call the cops, then get irritated when the cops try to get info so they can help you find who hit your car?)

  Boyfriend asked if his insurance would pay for the damage; the officer said he didn't know if they would or not, and that Boyfriend would have to call them to find out.  The officer gave Boyfriend the case number and the number to the New City police department so that the insurance company could get a copy of the report.  The officer noted in the report that Boyfriend didn't appear to be intoxicated (I sooo wish he would have given Boyfriend a sobriety test; I guarantee you he would have failed.)

  The officer must have started typing up his reports and put the two of them together.  The officer compared the license number of Boyfriend's vehicle to the license number of the car involved in the hit-and-run.  Five of the six digits matched, all in the correct order (For an eyewitness account, this is impeccable.)  The officer checked Boyfriend's criminal history and noted that it included reckless driving, operation after revocation and operating while intoxicated.

  The officer went back to speak to Boyfriend; he asked if anyone other than Boyfriend or The Ex drove the vehicle that was damaged.  Boyfriend said no.  The officer said that Boyfriend's car was seen striking a mailbox on the same night that Boyfriend reported damage to the vehicle and that he was seen by witnesses.  Boyfriend replied (I love this part) that his brother also drives the vehicle, and it must have been him who hit the mailbox.  The officer asked why he had just said that only he and The Ex drove the vehicle; Boyfriend didn't know (Because he can't think fast enough to cover his own lie) The officer asked for Boyfriend's brother's name; Boyfriend gave him a (fake) name, but said he didn't know his brother's birthday (What?!) or where he lived (Do you let people drive your car if you don't know where they live?  My goodness, Boyfriend - you can do better than that)

  The officer asked for a phone number for the brother and asked Boyfriend to call his brother so that the officer could speak to him.  Boyfriend gave the officer a number and then made a phone call; Boyfriend told the officer that his brother was not there.  The officer wrote in the report that he heard someone on the other end of the phone when Boyfriend made the phone call but twenty minutes later when the officer tried calling the number Boyfriend had given him, the number was not in service (So Boyfriend pulled a number out of his butt, told the cop it belonged to his "brother," then called someone else pretending it was his brother.  Genius.)

  The officer asked Boyfriend why he suddenly had a brother who drove the vehicle; Boyfriend said that his brother was driving the vehicle the night that the mailbox got hit.  The officer reminded him that during the initial investigation, Boyfriend had said the car had been sitting in the driveway all day from 6:45am until The Ex noticed the damage at almost 10pm (This idiot can't even remember what he lied about in the first place)  The officer recapped that Boyfriend has a lot of traffic violations, he drives a car that was seen hitting a mailbox, he said only he and The Ex drove the car, and now suddenly his "brother" is driving the car too.  Boyfriend said he didn't know where his brother lived or how to get a hold of him (But you're letting him drive your brand-new car.  Riiiight...)

  The officer asked Boyfriend if he called his brother the night that the car got damaged.  Boyfriend said he did but his brother denied causing it.  The officer asked why Boyfriend hadn't brought this up during the initial investigation.  Boyfriend said he didn't think it was important (It was important enough to call the police, but not important enough to tell the truth)  The officer asked to speak to The Ex; Boyfriend said she wasn't home.  The officer asked for The Ex's phone number; Boyfriend said the officer couldn't speak to The Ex because they shared a phone and he had it (Another lie)

  The officer told Boyfriend he was being arrested for obstruction and hit-and-run.  Boyfriend told the officer that he could not arrest him because he wasn't the only one who drove the car and (Omg, this is epic) it was "too long after the crash to arrest him."  The officer said Boyfriend was mistaken and he was going to be arrested.  Boyfriend told the officer to speak to his brother to see if he had been driving the car at the time the damage occurred.  The officer told Boyfriend he did not need to speak to Boyfriend's brother, since he already denied causing the damage in the conversation that Boyfriend said he previously had with his brother.

  The officer told Boyfriend the dates and times of his mandatory court dates.  Boyfriend said he couldn't go to court because he had to go to work.  The officer told Boyfriend it was his choice but if he did not appear, it was likely that a warrant would be issued for his arrest.  Boyfriend told the officer he couldn't do this and wouldn't take the papers from the officer.

  The next day, Boyfriend left the officer a message giving him a phone number for his "brother." (This phone number was different from the first one Boyfriend had given.)  The officer called the number and the person identified themselves as Boyfriend's brother but with a different name than the one Boyfriend had given the officer; the real brother said he knew someone with the name that Boyfriend had originally given the officer, but that person was unavailable.  The brother would not identify himself other than by name and telling the officer the area where he lived (Because he also has a record)

  Boyfriend appeared for the initial court date, entered a plea of not guilty.  Another date was set, Boyfriend did not appear so they issued a default judgment against him.  And I will bet you money that The Ex still has no idea what happened to her car.

  About a month after this was the first incident with football.  Husband had told The Ex in person and by text message back in May that Son wanted to play football so he would be getting enrolled; The Ex never objected to it.  Then August rolled around, football practice was going to start and The Ex suddenly said she refused to take Son to his mandatory practices.  Husband said she needed to because that was what the court order read; The Ex kept saying she didn't have any money and wasn't going to bring Son to his practices, so Husband told her he wasn't going to return the kids and sent a letter the next day to both The Ex and the courthouse explaining the same.

  In our state, a parent can get a felony charge of interfering with child custody if they withhold for 12 or more hours.  Since exchange time was 5pm on Monday during the summer, The Ex called the police at 5pm and was told she needed to wait until 5am on Tuesday morning.

  The first officer left Husband a message saying he was violating the court order and needed to return the kids as soon as possible, and wrote in the report that follow-up contact was needed (I think his shift was almost ending and he really didn't give a rat's backside what happened to the case.  My theory is based on the fact that this officer also left me a message; I returned his call immediately and he never once got back to me, even after this report was closed)  According to the police report, The Ex explained that Husband was supposed to bring the kids back by 5pm on Monday night.  The officer wrote incorrectly in the report that Husband indicated The Ex was violating the court order because she did not want Son playing football in our city (What Husband had actually written was that he notified The Ex of the sport, she never objected to Son participating, she was now saying that she was going to violate the court order by not bringing Son to his practices so that was why Husband was going to withhold placement)

  The Ex said she did not have a reason to believe the kids were in any immediate danger with Husband, but she had some concerns.  The Ex claimed that Son had told her in the past that Husband got mad at him and pushed him into a truck and choked him; she said this happened at a birthday party in our city (This never happened.  Not in our city, not in New City, nowhere.  Husband has never pushed Son and has certainly never choked him.  Funny thing though: remember The Ex's disorderly conduct charge where she was claiming that Husband also pushed her into a truck?) The Ex said that both Son and Daughter also told her that they have seen Husband and I having sex, and that we walk around the house naked (This is beyond disgusting and bears not even the smallest amount of truth) The Ex said she never reported this to the police in our city "because [Husband] will find a way to turn it around on her." (For those of you with children, let me pose this question to you:  if your kids were telling you that their other parent was walking around naked and having sex in front of them, would you report it to the police?  There's really no point in asking because the absolute, undeniable answer from each and every single person reading this is, "Yes.  I would report this to the police."  But not The Ex.  Oh, no.  The Ex cannot report it because Husband will "turn it around on her."  Can you believe this bullsh*t?!  I think what I find even scarier is that The Ex has essentially stated that if she knew something like this was going on in her household, she wouldn't report it to the police because she wouldn't want to get blamed for it.  Disgusting.)

  The officer referenced the court order stating that both The Ex and Husband would agree on extracurricular activities and they would both facilitate these activities.  The officer mentioned that Husband referred to this "stating because [The Ex] did not want [Son] to participate in football in [our city], she was in violation of their agreement." (That's not what Husband said.  Husband said that he told The Ex that Son wanted to play, she didn't object and was now refusing to facilitate the activity; since The Ex said she was going to violate the order, Husband would not return the kids.)  The Ex said she never told Husband that Son couldn't play football in our city, but she didn't know how he would get to practice four times a week when we lived an hour and a half away (That's why you should have said something 2+ months ago when you were told Son wanted to play)

  The second officer called Husband's phone at 10:37pm.  I told him Husband was sleeping, he kept asking me to wake Husband up, I said Husband needed to be at work in a few hours and asked if I could help him.  He didn't want to talk to me at first, kept asking me to wake up Husband.  I asked if he was calling about the same thing that the first officer had called about; then he was willing to talk to me.  I told him that The Ex had been informed in May that Son wanted to play football; I also told him that the kids had spoken to The Ex earlier that night and that both kids were fine.  I told him I tried calling the first officer back twice after he had tried calling us earlier.  The second officer told me there was no violation of the court order due to the agreement about extracurricular activities (Booyah) and because both parents agreed Son could play football in our city.

  The second officer then called The Ex back and confirmed she had spoken to both kids and they were okay.  The Ex said she wanted Son to play football and agreed he should play in our city, but was upset because both kids weren't home with her when she thought they should be (So she agrees with everything exactly how it is, but she's still upset) The second officer told The Ex that this was a civil dispute and no police action could be taken for a violation because they both agreed to Son playing football.  "[The Ex] repeatedly mentioned to me that she agreed [Son] should be able to play football and has no problem with him doing so." (Just keep beating that horse, it might come back to life)

  Twenty-four hours later, The Ex called the same officer.  Now, she was "concerned" because Son was the only one with an activity; The Ex felt Daughter should be home with her instead of with Husband.  The officer told her the agreement was vague and he couldn't make a decision on that alone, so he'd forward it to the District Attorney's office for them to review if there was a violation. (The DA did nothing with this.)

  The Ex showed up the next night at Son's final practice that week; she said she was taking both kids home and would bring Son back on Monday for practice and leave him all week (See how easy this all could have been?  But noooo, let's demand you return the kids and call the police.)

  At the end of December, a report was generated in Hometown.  The Ex was not involved, but her younger sister and brother were. (Remember?  The two losers who helped each other steal $8,450 from their parents and bought drugs with it?) A woman had left her purse in a cart at a grocery store and noticed it was missing after she had gotten home.  She contacted the grocery store but they were not able to find her purse where she had said she left it.

  The next day, the store owner contacted the police and said she had photos of what she believed to be the missing purse.  The owner said there was one male suspect and one female suspect; they entered the store with the missing purse but left the store without it.  The store owner advised they had later found the purse inside of the store.  The purse was returned to the woman, who advised everything was in it except for $15-20 in cash.

  Two weeks later, The Ex's younger sister responded to the officer's request for an interview.  The sister started the interview by announcing she was on probation (For stealing her parents' money) and said her first interview with her probation officer was in a few days.  The sister said she saw the purse in the cart at the store and was going to take it to the front desk (Because she is moral enough to not steal other people's money.  Her own parents, sure.  But not a stranger's money, heavens no)  The sister said her brother told her they should go through the purse first.  The sister said she was not going to go through the purse but carried it into the store for her brother (So you're an accomplice.  That still counts as a crime) She said she handed her brother the purse, he went through it and then kicked it under a stand and said they should go.  The sister said she was shopping for supper so she was getting some things from the store; she said her brother was nervous and told her they needed to go and wouldn't let her finish grocery shopping.  She said that she got to the front of the store, she paid for it with food stamps (Omfg... I have no problem with helping people who need it.  Being a fat, lazy drug addict does not equate needing help) and they left.  She said they reached the car, got inside and her brother drove off quickly.

  The sister said her brother told her that he had gotten $7 from the purse and said she was shopping while he went through it.  She said her brother had told her not to bring his name into it, and that he would deny everything or that he was even involved.  She gave the officer her brother's address and phone number.

  The officer contacted The Ex's brother.  He said that his sister was going to take the purse to the front counter but he said they should go through it.  The brother said he did not recall going through the purse (How do you forget that you did this?) and said he did not recall how much money he took from the purse, but that his sister told him it was $14 (My guess is that it was $14; they split it, which is why the sister told the cop it was $7.)

  The brother and sister had to repay $14 and both now have convictions for theft of movable property.
