Dispute: A woman told an officer she was followed by her ex-boyfriend to her current boyfriend’s house and began persistently knocking on her car window demanding to speak to her. She said she had stopped dating the subject male one month prior, and told the officer he has also shown up at her children’s school attempting to speak with her. A resident of the county, she advised she has filed a complaint with the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office.
The complainant said the man has been seeking greater clarification of why they broke up, to which she told him “God told her to," according to the incident report.
In this latest incident, the subject witnessed the lovebirds kissing in her car. Whether she was instructed to do that by the Almighty Deity was not disclosed.
The subject told officers that in addition to being told that he was left behind via instruction from a higher power that the woman owes him $3,000 from when they resided together and he wants her to pay him back.
Meanwhile, when the current boyfriend was interviewed, he advised it was only the pair’s second date, and he knows little about the history of the former couple.
The incident concluded when the subject was told to not contact the complainant and, regarding the claim of money owed, he needs to file civil action. The woman was also notified of the process of obtaining a restraining order. She said she did not want to pursue any charges.

Property damage: Yet another case of conflict between ex-lovers resulted in a broken window at a woman’s apartment. The complainant said around 6 a.m. her ex-girlfriend began texting her and accusing her of having a new girlfriend, which, if true, might seem reasonable given their relationship ended six months prior.
Whether there actually is a new girlfriend was not specified in the incident report. The complainant said she and the subject had dated “off and on” for three years.
During the text exchange, the subject told the complainant she was going to her apartment for an unspecified reason, prompting her to leave work. When she arrived, she told an officer she witnessed the subject hit her window and then leave. The officer confirmed the text messages, one of them challenging the complainant to press charges against her.
To bolster the case, the officer interviewed a neighbor who said she observed two women knocking on the complainant’s door, then pounded on the window until it broke. The property manager told the officer she wanted the subject trespassed from the building and to pursue criminal charges.
The investigation continued when the officer contacted the subject by phone, then met at a neutral address. She admitted to losing control and causing the damage. She was issued a criminal notice to appear for criminal mischief, was informed that she was trespassing from the apartment building and that she was to cease contact with the victim.

Family dispute: Frustrated that his partner of 13 years was attempting to keep their home tidy was disturbing him while he was watching football, a man began yelling at her, threw an ashtray at his TV and broke the screen. Then, for an unexplained reason, he called law enforcement to “try to get her in trouble” according to the incident report.
An officer spoke with the man — who admitted to his actions — and observed he appeared to be intoxicated and that a vodka bottle was at his feet. When the officer explained the crime of house cleaning during an NFL Sunday was a civil matter, the man stated, “‘Police don’t care about men anymore,’ and asked me to close the door and leave,” according to the report.
The officer then advised that he refrain from interacting with the woman for the remainder of the day and advised her that if she wished to have him removed from the home, she would need to take the proper steps through civil court.
