Unaware the complainant would return, she got rid of his belongings.
The owner advised she would obtain an eviction notice as soon as possible. The complainant agreed to leave the residence for the night and was advised of the legal process for a civil dispute.

Civil dispute: Burned clothes brought police to a laundromat where the complainant said she placed her clothes and those of a friend into a dryer for approximately one hour, resulting in several burns to the clothing. She added they had been to the laundromat several times without any issues.
The complainant said the dryer began smoking and the fire department responded, but found no active fire. She removed a bag of clothing to show police obvious signs of damage to several items, estimating the value at approximately $350 to $400. The officer contacted the manager on scene who advised there are several posted signs warning about the use of the dryer.
The signs advise to not use more than six quarters and to dry clothes based on the clothing tag recommendations. The sign also states the laundry mat is not responsible for damaged clothing.

Civil dispute: Reporting that a landlord had entered his room while he was in bed, hovered above him and demanded he leave, a complainant called police to settle the dispute. The landlord reported she was having trouble with the tenant because she discovered he had a “drinking problem” even after telling him she would not tolerate anyone with such an issue.
An officer informed the property owner that it was a civil matter because it isn't illegal to be intoxicated in your own home. Further, the landlord was instructed to undertake the formal eviction process to have the tenant removed.
