Officers responded to a verbal dispute at about 12:19 p.m. on Nov. 29 at a barber shop in the 25600 block of 101st Avenue Southeast, according to the police report. Witnesses reported an argument between a man and a woman inside the shop.
The woman told police her ex-boyfriend became upset because she had slept with three of his friends. She said he took off her pants, underwear and shoes and refused to return them. He also reportedly punched her in her private parts.
The ex-boyfriend told police the woman had punched him in the face during the dispute. He didn’t answer an officer’s questions about why he took off the woman’s clothes and refused to give them back. He said they had argued about her infidelities.
Police determined the ex-boyfriend as the primary aggressor because he punched the woman and took her clothes.
Malicious mischief
Officers arrested a man for investigation of third-degree malicious mischief after he reportedly punched and broke a vehicle’s rear window at about 12:12 a.m. on Nov. 29 at an apartment complex parking lot in the 11100 block of Southeast 208th Street.
A witness called 911 to report a man possibly hitting a woman in a vehicle at the Indigo Springs Apartments, according to the police report.
A man then exited the vehicle but returned later and started to punch the windows. He then turned his attention to another vehicle. He punched and broke the rear window of that car before leaving in another vehicle.
Police located the man in a unit at the apartment complex. He initially refused to come out of the apartment before he voluntarily walked out and officers handcuffed him. A witness described the man as the same man who broke the car window.
The man declined to talk to police about the incident.

The husband told officers he allowed his wife’s son to stay at the house because otherwise he would be homeless, according to the police report. Officers noted the husband had cuts by his eye and was bleeding.
