Police on halloween

Well, it just wouldn't be halloween if something eventful didn't happen. I just finished giving my statement to Auburn Police for our lovely neighbor banging on our door at 3:30 in the morning for about 30 minutes.

At About 3:30, I woke up to someone banging on our door and decided to ignore it since all the roommates were home and I figured someone was probably just too trashed to remember where they lived. A few minutes later someone starts to pound again then walk off. By now, I am just pissed. One of my roommates is up and looks through the peep hole to check to see if anyone is out there but doesn't see anyone. And another one of my roommates is awake because her dog is barking at the little felon.

After a few more times of him pounding on our door and my bedroom wall, a roommate and I decide to call the police. It just doesn't sound like your typical lost drunk. He has been pounding on other people's doors too and he doesn't stick around at all after knocking, just moves on to the next one.

By now, 2 of my 3 roommates are sitting in the kitchen with me waiting for the police to arrive. The police arrived a few minutes before 4 am and apprehended the dude. They spend some time doing drunk tests which are kinda pointless because he is beyond wasted. Then they ask one of my roommates to identify him--she saw him out of our peep hole as he stumbled up to pound on our door the last time. Eventually, they charged him with something (attempted something or other).

The police officer said that people have been knocking on others' doors and if no one answers after a while, they assume that no one is there and kick the door in to rob the place. They think this is what he was doing but said that he had another excuse. Do you want to know what our friendly neighbor's excuse for scaring us half to death was?!... "He wanted to ask one of us out!" Hah! You are guaranteed success with that method mister. I'm shocked you're still single.

And after all of this, my roommate Ann is still out like a rock! She hasn't budged through the pounding on the door, the dog barking, police coming in to take my statement, or the 3 of us sitting in our living room talking. It must be nice to be a heavy sleeper.
Now that it is 5:30 am, I'm going to sleep--praising the Lord that we are all still alive and that tomorrow is Saturday. :)
