Police Called After Mouse Sighting Sparks Argument

Also, drivers were arrested for driving without a valid driver's license. An arrest is merely an accusation, not evidence of a conviction.


Information is taken from Niles Police Department reports

A woman living on Ozark Street, 44, saw a mouse in her family room on Dec. 11 just after 3:30 a.m. and began to shout about it to her husband, 49, who tried to quiet her because he was afraid the children would wake up, according to the police report. The couple argued about the mouse, the lateness of the hour and other household issues. The wife called police to help bring about order, and an officer arrived and advised the two to separate for the night. They said there would be no further problems, and added tensions were running high in the home because the youngest child was having problems sleeping. Police planned to advise Niles Family Services.
