Assault with a deadly finger

The officer contacted the man who was lying down in a bedroom of the residence. He stated that only a verbal dispute occurred and that he was asleep when the woman entered the room and started an argument. He advised that his girlfriend often starts verbal altercations and that SPD has responded to the residence in the past. The man was calm and did not appear to be under the influence of any narcotics.

The officer advised the woman that her boyfriend had established residency and would need to seek court action to have him removed from the property. He further advised her to sleep in another room and try to avoid the him for the rest of the evening “which she agreed would be a good idea.”
