06:53 am
So, I got woken up by screams at five in the morning. I thought it was a dream at first, but then I heard it again about five minutes later, as I lie awake in bed. About fifteen minutes later, as I got up to go to the bathroom, I heard it yet again. It was bloodcurdling and I heard a struggle. A couple of minutes later the cops came.
That was around 5:30 a.m. -- it's close to 7:30 now and the cops are STILL here, trying to figure out a way to break into the guy's apartment across from us (where the screams came from). They got the apartment's maintenance guy out to unlock the door, but it didn't work. The guy has changed his deadbolt a month prior (unsanctioned, of course). So that was a no-go.
About every three minutes or so I hear the cops pounding on the door.
I guess what's kind of cool about it is that I've been watching it all take place from my porch (overlooks the parking lot) and the peephole in the front door. It's like watching COPS! ...An extended version of COPS, I guess.
I'm glad I'm getting out of this dump next month.
EDIT: A forensics van came around 9:30. It came, left, and I don't know what the fuck is going on. The guy came out of his apartment around 9. There are no signs of him -- my guess is that he had the cuffs slapped on him and was hauled off. Meanwhile, the victim in question (the screaming girl, his girlfriend) is missing. I think her parents are outside, by the police car? I dunno.
