The live-in boyfriend called Englewood Police in the early morning hours of a recent Monday to report a domestic dispute.

When officers arrived, the girlfriend said she wanted the boyfriend gone from the home they shared. The girlfriend said her boyfriend’s name was not on the lease so she wanted him out.

An officer explained because the boyfriend had been living in the home, he had established residency there. If she wanted him gone, she would have to start eviction proceedings. According to the officer’s report, the girlfriend acted as if she were drunk.

The officer also noticed a LCD TV in the living room had a crack in the screen. When asked what happened, the girlfriend replied the TV belong to the boyfriend, and she had thrown a lighter at it, cracking the screen.

Officers got the girlfriend to agree to sleep in the bedroom and stay there, and the boyfriend on the living room couch.

Not quite 30 minutes later, the boyfriend called again. The girlfriend had come out of the bedroom and had been haranguing him. Police cited the girlfriend for disorderly conduct, but before they were able to cuff her, she hurled a cell phone at the TV, “causing additional damage to the screen,” according to the report.

The boyfriend told police the girlfriend was upset because he was staying up late. (Perhaps watching too much TV?) In addition, the boyfriend claimed his girlfriend had consumed half-a-bottle of vodka.

No word, however, on the TV’s condition.
