  • Thursday, January 27, 2022

A woman on Martin Luther Kind Boulevard told police she had heard yelling and someone beating on the doors in the apartment complex for what seemed like an hour. Police asked if she had seen who was doing this and she said she did not, that she was nervous since she was unsure if the person doing this lived in the apartments or not. Police spoke with another resident and she informed them that her neighbor was beating on her door and yelling at her through the walls.
She said she doesn't know why she would be doing this, but it started the day before. After speaking with her, police then spoke with the neighbor she accused. That neighbor said she was not doing those things and told police that it was the woman who accused her who was doing it. The neighbor said she never beat on her door, but she was yelling at her through the door to come outside and she was just really angry. She also said she has no idea why her accuser would be doing these things. Police told both women to leave each other alone and not to contact one another. Police also said that if this were to occur again, they should call the police so they could try and help them resolve it.

The woman later called police and said that four transactions were taken from her (Sun Trust) Cash App using the stolen iPhone, totaling $175. All four Cash App transactions were sent to a woman who happens to be a "house cleaning" employee of the Marriott. The woman showed police the transactions and how they were sent to the other hotel employee. The woman said the other employee was also working on the day and time the theft occurred and she was also seen on the second floor.
