• A woman called 911 wanting to report that her roommate had turned off her internet. She was told the incident would be documented, but she continued to call 911 requesting a report for the same incident. Her roommate then reported that she was very intoxicated and causing an unreasonable disturbance. Upon contact, it was confirmed that roommate #1 heavily intoxicated. It was then determined that she posed a danger to herself and others, so she was taken into custody for intoxication.
