  • Thursday, March 18, 2021


Police were called to a residence at The Villages at Alton Park on W. 38th Street. A woman said she was on the phone with her sister upstairs when she heard a disturbance on the front of the residence. A short time later she said she heard a disturbance in the back and identified an acquaintance at the back of her residence. According to the woman, the two women have a long, tumultuous relationship, including the acquaintance vandalizing her residence previously. The acquaintance walked on foot east towards Central Avenue following the incident, and was no longer on scene when police arrived. The woman discovered a window on her front porch that had been shattered that evening by the acquaintance as well. Police observed shards of glass along the front porch and an unopened pint-sized can of an alcoholic beverage lying on the front porch in the shattered glass. The woman said she believes the acquaintance threw the can at her front porch in an attempt to vandalize the residence further. Police were unable to positively identify the acquaintance using CopLink, Crime Portal, General Sessions or Watson Reporting. Due to this, arrest warrants are not being sought.
