A woman reported to police early Monday that her former boyfriend assaulted her when she confronted him about dating her mother.

The woman said she learned about the relationship and was angry. She saw them together in a vehicle in a parking lot, pulled in beside them and confronted the former boyfriend. She called her mother a “slut,” according to the report, and her mother told her she should respect her and not call her names.

The pair left, but the woman returned later and again saw them in the parking lot, this time in separate vehicles. She again confronted him, she said.

Her mother tried to drive away, but she stood behind the car to prevent it. The boyfriend got inside his vehicle and she jumped in the door on top of him to prevent his leaving, she said.

She said the boyfriend bent her car key and injured her in the struggle, according to the report.

An officer responded to a fight call on Joseph P. Lowery Boulevard. A 24-year-old woman said she was punched by a man she calls her “grandfather,” but he is just a family friend. The woman said she just took a pregnancy test and discovered it was positive. Then she said her water broke when she fell to the floor. Medics said this was improbable because she “just found out she was pregnant and she may have urinated on herself,” an officer wrote. The woman described her “grandfather” as a man with a long goatee and gray cornrows. He left before police arrived.

An officer was patrolling around Piedmont Avenue on April 25 when he heard someone holler “you are going to school” and then someone say something back to the yeller. The cop walked over to the house where he heard the commotion coming from and found a father and his 17-year-old son arguing. The father told the officer that he is tired of his son sitting around not going to school. The son asserted that he “isn’t doing a damn thing” and if his father puts a hand on him he’s “going to jump him.” The officer told the son to go to his room but instead the teenager started cursing out his father. The officer told him not to do that again. But the boy swore at his father again as he was walking into his room. So the officer arrested him and took him to jail for disorderly conduct.
