Telephone harassment
Aug. 26, 11 a.m., 2800 block of Mabe Road
A single mother of three with long working hours had broken up with her boyfriend in early July after he had assaulted her. He had reportedly called her once every day since then, but since she was always at work the calls went unheard. On her day off, she received a phone call from him and told him to leave her alone and to never call her again, then hung up on him. After that, the man called her 11 more times. Because of their past relationship and violence, the woman is afraid of her ex-boyfriend and told the officer that she fears that her ex suffers from “roid rage.” While the officer was making a report, the man called two more times. The first time, the woman told her ex to stop calling and the second time told him that she was making a police report. The ex-boyfriend heard the police radio in the background and stopped calling.
