Take a Long Walk

This morning, one of my neighbors said "I had to call the police on my girlfriend." I asked him what had happened and he told me she has been using drugs and that she brought a crack pipe into their apartment. She was high on drugs. She had been fighting him and he did not want to hit her back because the police would have arrested him.

He explained to the officers that she was causing trouble. He said he was worried because of her drug use. He could not take it anymore.

The police had been there in the past. Once she had hit him in the head and caused him to get stitches to close the wound.

They have a child of less than one year in the home.

He asked the officers to go inside and take her drug paraphrenalia and arrest her. They told him that they did not want to search the place. He gave them permission to look around. They refused.

The police officers told him to leave the home for a while until she cooled down. They suggested that he apply for custody of the child and have the girlfriend evicted. He had to leave the baby in the apartment with the girlfriend.
