Officers responded to a local motel in reference to a dispute between guests. While speaking with our officers, one man stated that he had been smoking on his balcony, when a female neighbor began yelling at him about the smoke. The man stated he apologized and extinguished his cigarette, but the woman continued with her tirade. As her rant became longer and more profane, the man decided to yell at her as well. According to the woman, as the man yelled back at her, he made a reference to being, “strapped”. The man denied having a gun, however, and there was no other evidence to suggest a weapon was involved in the confrontation.
