145 Appendix Domestic Violence Calls for Police Service: Summaries by Researchers county police (county a, seventeen intimate violence calls) (June 19) Officer called to assist on a domestic call since the policy is to send out two officers. The police were dispatched to a white man’s house in a lower-SES neighborhood in New Castle. The man’s son and his son’s girlfriend were engaged in a loud verbal fight. A different officer had been sent to the same home earlier that night when she punched him in the face with a kid’s toy truck, but no arrest was made at that point. The other responding officer was annoyed because if she had been arrested earlier, there would have been no need for a second dispatch to this address. It was unclear what happened next as we were diverted to respond to a 911 hang up call somewhere else in the city. UNCLEAR IF ARRESTED. (white) (June 24) A girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend got into a fight over shared custody with their son. He threw her against the wall and grabbed the child and stormed off. He was no longer on the premises when we arrived. The other officer on the scene took the call and sent us on our way. NO ARREST. (unknown race) (June 26) We stopped a white guy, trashy looking with lots of tattoos, for a traffic violation and ran his name through the computer, finding that he had an outstanding PFA; the guy bragged about it: “I beat the shit out of her.” Brought into station to book. ARRESTED ON PFA VIOLATION. (white) (July 1) While student was waiting to be taken on the evening ride-along, another officer brought in a domestic where the woman had just bitten the man in the chest (both white). They were boyfriend/girlfriend. This ended up as a dual arrest. Both were junkies and she said he pushed her while he said she pushed him. Both parties had marks on them. DUAL ARREST. (white) (July 4) 72-year-old white married couple. The wife told officer that her husband was drunk and pushed her. Initially the husband was arrested and handcuffed. But then the officer realized that he had pushed her last week, not that day, so the officer decided not to arrest but had their daughter pick her up and remove her from the home. The husband said that he was aggravated with his wife and the officer was too young to understand. NO ARREST. (white) (July 4) White mother concerned about an argument between her white daughter and her daughter’s black boyfriend. Two officers arrived and separated them to get full stories. An eight-year-old child was brought in to tell about the injuries that the daughter incurred. The daughter was screaming the whole time that her mother hates black people. No arrest was made, despite what the boy said, because officers compared stories and determined that the mother’s story did not add up. Both the boyfriend and the girlfriend said the mother had been drinking and placed her somewhere where she would not have been able to witness their argument. The daughter did not have any visible injuries. NO ARREST. (white and black) (July 8) Call from a nice trailer park where wife and husband had been drinking at the beach all day. She did most of the driving home and was tired. The car ran out of gas on the way home and she could not get her husband up to help get the gas. So, she had had it with him by the time they got home. She started an argument and started beating on him. He had a bloody contusion on his face and other bruises on his arms and back. She admitted to everything that she did. ARREST. (white) (July 10) Officer called as backup to case involving custody dispute between divorced white couple, but officers told the couple that they had to go to family court to resolve . NO ARREST. (white) (July 10) Second officer on scene. Took the husband outside and he explained that he was trying to leave the house and his wife was mad because she wanted to go out that night and wanted him to watch the kids.
