This is a new weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 20 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 20 years here in a weekly blog post.
Back on May 21st, 2016
I heard a couple of people running through the rocks in my courtyard. I get up to look and the cops are chasing a guy down the middle of my courtyard and so I go tell Ken. He gets to the door and the cops chase another guy right past our door and quickly get him down on the ground at gunpoint. Then the police helicopter starts flying around shining the light on our apartment complex. All of the sudden there are 20 cops and half a dozen cop cars on the street. The police were in our courtyard, the courtyard across the street, in the alley...they were everywhere.
I only got a couple of pictures before the police were yelling at everyone to get back inside. I didn't want to get arrested so I took my happy ass back inside. lol
Turns out they were down the street for a burglary call and the first guy they chased was seen at the burglary according to his sister the next day. The second guy they chased wasn't involved at all but it's a felony to run from the police when they tell you to stop so he was arrested also and they impounded his car. The first guys sister wouldn't let the cops search her apartment so the police made her handcuffed brother sit in front of their door for almost 4 hours until they could get a search warrant. In all, 3 people went to jail. The sister lived in my courtyard which is why he ran through here.
Ken went out walking the dog a couple of times while all this was going on and saw our apartment manager who was drunk and mouthing off about how the second guy that ran (she was dating him even though she's married to a guy in prison) didn't do anything wrong because he had been at home with her. But Ken told her that he saw his dumb ass run from the police which is a felony. She was too drunk to get it.
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
Oh my. I think I would be beside myself. I dont think I could cope.
ReplyDeleteI've kind of gotten used to the craziness.
Deletelol run from the cops when you did nothing, smart. That apartment manager sounds like a real winner too.
ReplyDeleteOh she was just as crazy as some of these residents.
DeleteSounds like a lot of winners living there.
ReplyDeleteYeah, some of them have moved out now.
DeleteBurglary calls, and the guy comes to your neighbor-how crazy is that. My brother's ex girlfriend was a witness to a bank robbery a few years back and she notified the security and helped catch the guy.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, glad they caught the guy.
DeleteThe show cops would save a lot of time and just camp out in your area.
ReplyDeletelmao I keep thinking the same thing. They should rent an apartment here.
DeleteI like it how you nonchalantly write a post on these disturbing events. Others would be busy trying to find a way to move out of that apartment.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten used to the craziness I guess.
DeleteI love tales from your apartment complex but I have no idea how you live there and stay sane! lol
ReplyDeleteI'd be a nervous wreck.
Ohh "Tales From My Apartment Complex" would have been a good title for these blog posts. lol Hey, who said I was sane? Take that back! *giggle/snort*
DeleteLol, "She was too drunk to get it."
ReplyDeleteMary, you really do need to write a book!
lmao I know. But I'll just have to settle for these weekly posts.
Deleteomg that place
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely lively.
Delete"it's definitely lively"
DeleteWell that's certainly one way of putting it! LOL!
All the best Jan
lol
DeleteThere sure is always something going on in your complex. That sounds kinda creepy with all the police there.
ReplyDeleteThe police really swooped in that time.
DeleteI'd have locked the door and hoped it was over quickly. Of course I would be peaking out the window too because I'm nosy. Ha!
ReplyDeleteIf the police would just let me take the pictures I want I would go back in my apartment. lol
DeleteIt is like a Holywood film. :(
ReplyDeletehttps://en.rehitu.com
Yeah, a horror film. lol
DeleteComical yet scary. I wonder why that guy ran.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue.
DeleteThe way cops behave these days, I'm surprised no one was shot especially the guy who ran but had nothing to do with the incident. Crazy but real and that's scary.
ReplyDeleteOh believe me, as often as the cops are here I'm surprised no one has been shot yet either.
DeleteYou get everything happening at your apartment complex, don't you! I just love how you're always so relaxed about it all. That manager doesn't sound like she was much use though
ReplyDeleteAfter 20 years of things like this happening I guess I'm just used to it. That manager was so worthless.
DeleteThat's really something, something scary!
ReplyDeleteYeah it was a big scary to have people being chased right past our door.
DeleteThere is never a boring week in your neighborhood! Scary stuff!
ReplyDeleteNope, never boring.
DeletePolice have established routines and rules. My brother was a policeman and risked his life many times to protect civilians.
ReplyDeleteAny apartments available somewhere else?
None for the amount that we pay here.
DeleteI’m always blown away by the crazy things that happen at your apartment. OMG right in front of your door!!! Your apartment manager sounds like a character.
ReplyDeleteShe was. Thankfully we have someone else now.
DeleteOh my. That was one classy apartment manager. lol
ReplyDeleteShe was such an ass. lol
