Georgia man’s ex-girlfriend kicks in door, ruins his chicken dinner, cops say
A man who lives on the west side of Forsyth told the cops that late one night last month his ex-girlfriend kicked a hole in his front door. He said she unlatched the lock and walked in.
The man, 59, of a Sharp Street address, said that when she came in he took off out the back door. According to a Forsyth police report, the man said he was “not supposed to be around” his ex.
The woman, 41, was then said to have locked the man out. Until, that is, he threatened to call the law. When he was finally let inside, the man told the woman “she needed to leave so he could eat his dinner,” the police report noted, “at which point she took his dinner and threw it on the floor before leaving.”
The man informed a police officer that he figures the damage to his door amounted to $300 or so and his dinner, a barbecue chicken plate, set him back $8.
“He was unsure,” the report of the May 11 episode concluded, “whether he wished to press charges.”
Dispatches: In early May, a Forsyth woman on Stroud Street complained to the police that a man who lives nearby had been “sitting on her porch and walking in her yard.” The man in question, according to a police report, said he had been using the woman’s yard to “cut distance off his walk, but he has not used her porch.” As a cop spoke to the man, the man’s son said that the father had in fact used the porch. But, as the write-up put it, the man promptly “hushed” his son. The father was warned not to trespass. . . . On the morning of May 10, a man who lives on Main Street in Forsyth told the cops that his landlord knocked on his door and asked, “When the (expletive) are you going to get out of my house?” The tenant, 47, said the landlord began crowding him and that the tenant asked him, “What are you gonna do, kick my ass?” To which the landlord reportedly replied, “Maybe.” The tenant then shut the door, locked it and called the cops. A police officer asked the tenant if he had paid his rent. The tenant said he had not.
