“Fentanyl, crack, and undiagnosed mental health issues” can do many things to a man, but pair all that with an abusive personality, and you’ve got yourself a criminal. And that’s exactly the sort of troublemaker one Massachusetts woman had to deal with, except this troublemaker just so happened to also be her ex-boyfriend. And in a wild series of events, he ended up locked inside her garage, hiding from the police.
The woman allegedly said she had bought him a car, but took it away from him several months later. It was because she discovered he had been driving it with a suspended license and was “buying drugs multiple times a day.” The ex-boyfriend then stole a car and drove an hour to her in the middle of the night, then climbed up onto her roof from the back porch. Knowing the layout of her house, he was up there trying to spot her through the skylight over her bedroom. Fortunately, she was asleep on a couch downstairs, away from his peeping eyes.
The woman heard someone on her roof and called 911, but when she checked her phone, she was greeted with a flurry of dozens of messages and 153 missed calls. The ex-boyfriend was stuck on her roof, with no way to get down, so he was pleading with her to help him get down and make the police go away. Eventually, nine cop cars were outside her house, trying to get the man to come down. While they were talking with the ex-girlfriend, he jumped down and locked himself in her garage.
Bizarrely, the Court Denied the Woman a Restraining Order for Her Crazy Boyfriend
Fortunately, the police “eventually got him to come out and arrested him for Class A felony, burglary at night,” the ex-girlfriend explains on Reddit. But many online users were wondering, why didn’t she get a restraining order? And bizarrely enough, she had requested one, but the court denied it. Even after showing the authorities all the evidence that the man was a drug addict and an abusive ex who stalked her, the court didn’t listen.
“After this and hundreds of screenshots of him threatening me, four different assaults (two he was arrested for) but the judge took his side and said ‘the plaintiff wasn’t abused by the defendant’ 🤷🏻♀️,” the ex-girlfriend said in disbelief. Allegedly, he had also tried to drug and overdose her, but she managed to survive. Fortunately, she claims that this all happened two years ago and that now she can “can (kind of) laugh about it.” But still, many can’t believe how the court would defend the abusive and dangerous boyfriend after all that had happened.
