Good question! So over time the roommate I originally talked to got shadier and shadier. One night one of our guys pulls up on a broke down vehicle on the side of the road, the dudes barred from driving so the officer places him under arrest after some passive aggressive resistance verbally and it ends up being the neighbors roommate. He basically told the officer he was a bada$$ in martial arts and was going to kick his ***. Never happened fortunately for the officer and roommate. So time goes on and this guy keeps driving and driving and driving while barred and living next door to me like I don't know. I try for the longest time to get him, but I think he figured out my schedule and left at the "right times" so-to-speak. He eventually gets arrested by one of the local agencies for OWI 2nd, driving while barred, etc and refuses to show up for court. So now he has warrants, agencies start showing up next door looking for him, asking me questions, etc. Neighbors in the area start to notice and they start asking me questions. At this point the owner of the home really hasn't spoken to me.
I'm at the store one day, see the guy that owns the house, tell him we need to talk when I get home and he says he was wanting to talk with me as well. I tell him everything that's been going on with the roommate and he said he had no idea until he happened to see some paperwork for a court date on OWI that was downstairs in the family room area of their house. Says he's been having problems getting rent from this guy, confrontations with him, etc. I told him he lives next door to two cops, neighbor on other side of me is a cop as well, we're both getting pissed about this because it's a giant slap in the face to us and everyone in the neighborhood knows what's going on. It's only a matter of time before someone tries to say we're letting him get away with all this. He said he understood, talked with the roommate and kicked him out of the house. During our discussions we talked about all the parties and the B.S. leading up to this particular conversation, everything went VERY well and was cordial. I told him I wasn't trying to tell him how to live in his own home, just giving him our perspective. The roommate showed up at my door a few days later shaking like a leaf. I thought for sure we were going to get into a fist fight, but he actually showed up to apologize to me and tried to thank me for everything. I told him not to thank me, I'd been trying to catch him, knew he'd figured out my schedule and I didn't let him get away from anything. Truth be told I issued one warrant for him, he got arrested on this warrant and he was also arrested by my old agency from some (cough) intel they received from an anonymous source.
Currently, we get along pretty well, he's got a pretty serious girlfriend right now and she lives with him. She's got him pretty squared away and I think he'll end up marrying this girl, she's real nice. He jokes how he had to figure out suburbia and it took some time. I've drank several beers with him and we have friendly conversations on a weekly basis. He's ask me advice on how to take care of his yard, had ZERO parties this year and is hard worker. He was just trying to help someone he barely knew, the roommate out, was stuck in a weird transition phase, and seemed to have some issues growing up there at first.
