The man who hailed the officer to the scene told them that he knew Cebotari but that Cebotari had come unannounced.

The man told the officer that when Cebotari first arrived, they had talked outside the apartment before he told Cebotari to leave and went to bed, locking the door.

After hearing a loud noise, the man investigated and found Cebotari inside the living room and kicked him out.

Cebotari had damaged the deadlock and the screen door latch as he broke into the apartment.

The second man, who had been holding Cebotari down when police arrived, had awakened to the sound of someone in his apartment, which was next door to the first man’s apart-

Assault

Officers charged Kristina Middlebrooks, 47, of Houston, Texas, with second-degree assault, calling an ambulance on a false alarm and causing contact with bodily fluid, according to a police report.

When police arrived, they met Middlebrooks standing at the front desk and a hotel employee. While police were talking with the employee they suspected that Middlebrooks was drunk based on her slurred speech and strong smell. Middlebrooks was acting sarcastic and belligerent, according to the report.

The employee told police that Middlebrooks had gone behind the counter and started taking out items, and police could see them scattered.

Police asked Middlebrooks to identify herself, and when they couldn’t understand her she allegedly lunged toward them. The officer stuck out an arm to stop her.

Police escorted Middlebrooks outside and again asked her for her license, which she denied having. She allegedly struck the officer in the chest with her palm, and the officer placed her under arrest.

While waiting for a transport car, Middlebrooks told the police that her head hurt and she thought she had a concussion. Police offered to call an ambulance and she accepted, but once EMS was on the way she told officers that she wasn’t injured.

When EMS arrived and tried to examine her, she told them she was hurting, but refused to take off her coat so they could read her blood pressure. Middlebrooks went back and forth on whether or not she actually felt bad and eventually was taken to Atlantic General Hospital.

The officer pulled over Santos around 20th Street and could smell alcohol coming from the driver’s window.

Police said Santos admitted to drinking several whiskey-based drinks and told the officer he was drunk. The officer reported that Santos went rapidly between emotions, being very happy one moment, then crying, and then being happy again.
