Police Blotter: Tenant Won't Pay To Fix Mailbox She Damaged; Man Drops Video Games He Swiped After He Is Pursued

Friday, November 24, 2023

A man who owns a property on Holland Lane told police his tenant was not complying to his needs, with a damaged mailbox, and he wanted to evict her. He said she earlier drove into the mailbox and completely damaged it. He said she and her boyfriend attempted to replace it on their own. It was not done according to how he wanted the mailbox to be, so he requested them to pay him the labor and materials so he could do it the way he wanted, because it is his property.

The tenant disagreed with the requested, so the man gave them an eviction notice for 30 days. They together agreed to push it back a little further, due to other circumstances. He said she continued to harass and message him multiple times regarding talking about the matter. He said via messages he told her multiple times to not come over and to leave him alone. He said she and her boyfriend ignored that by still coming to his door that same night. He said he did call police at the time, but no one was able to respond until another few hours. He said he felt unsafe and threatened by these actions from the tenants. He said he now wanted to do a three-day emergency eviction notice while police were on scene. Police spoke with the tenant about what could happen if they did not comply with the man's requests. She said she did not know it would lead to this and agreed to pay for whatever he requested, as long as they would be able to stay until when they originally agreed on. Both of them said they were now on the same page.
