April 19

Pillow fight

12:58 a.m. — 1300 block of Deer Springs Road

Domestic Battery. Police arrested a 32-year-old woman after she threw a pillow at her husband's face. The husband initially called police because he wanted her to come to bed, and he didn’t want her to get in trouble, according to the report. 

The woman had been at a singing gig, and her husband told police she had not called or sent a text to let him know when she would be home. The woman admitted to drinking after her gig and appeared to be intoxicated, according to the report. 

Once the woman was home and was getting ready for bed, the two argued. The woman told police she threw a pillow at her husband because he was saying mean things to her. She then left the house and sat in her car to smoke a cigarette. 

The husband originally told police she hit him in the face. However, later said she only threw the pillow. The woman was taken to jail.

Drug of choice

3:05 p.m — 1500 block of Dunlawton Avenue

Possession of drug paraphernalia. After police were called to check on a suspicious person in a local retail store's parking lot, officers discovered a 28-year-old woman asleep in the passenger seat with a syringe and spoon sitting in the open glove compartment, according to a report. The course of the investigation would lead to the woman telling police her drug of choice was heroin, though she hadn't used any in the last two days. 

She did admit to consuming a half tab of Subutex that morning, which can help treat narcotic addictions, because she didn’t have any heroin. 

When police first arrived, the woman told them she was waiting on a friend — whom she just met a few days ago — to get back from walking around the parking lot. The woman said her friend left the car about 30 minutes before the police arrived and she was just taking a nap while he was out. 

She said she didn’t know the spoon and syringe were in the open glove compartment. A search of the woman’s purse found three capped syringes and a test of the spoon from the glove box was positive for heroin. Police also found residues of cocaine in her vehicle, and other narcotic paraphernalia.

As she had failed to appear in court before, the woman was taken to jail.
