Enraged Man Rips Up Ticket; Swears At Cop

He was blaring music at 4 a.m. An arrest is merely an accusation and not evidence of a conviction.

 

Police responded to a loud music complaint just before 1:30 a.m. on Monday in the 8100 block of Ozanam, and heard the loud music when they arrived. They found the 28-year-old occupant on the front porch yelling at his cell phone, and he became enraged that officers were speaking to him, according to the report. When police asked him to quiet down, he replied, "fine, I'm going to sleep anyways."

The person who had made the complaint call, who did not give his or her name, phoned police again at 4:01 a.m. to say the occupant was playing loud music again and talking loudly, according to the report. Police officers spoke with the occupant and said they smelled the odor of alcohol on his breath and observed he had red, glassy eyes, according to the report.

Police said he directed expletives and negative language at them, they said. When they asked him to turn down the music, he replied, "F*** you." Police asked him again to turn down the music, again he refused, the police wrote a municipal ordinance ticket for noise complaint and cost of emergency services, and the occupant ripped it up and let the pieces fall on the sidewalk, saying "F*** this s***, I ain't paying s***," according to the report.

Police wrote another ticket for depositing articles on the public sidewalk, and said the man became enraged, ran into his residence, and, a short time later, the loud music ceased, they said.
