Just before 3 p.m., a woman reported being choked in an apartment building on the 1300 block of 7th Street and said that her assailant, a man, had an assault rifle, according to information a dispatcher relayed to Eureka Police officers over the scanner.

The woman left the apartment and is now being assisted by law enforcement.

The man called emergency dispatch from the apartment and said he did not have a rifle, the dispatcher told officers. He offered to show pictures of the woman choking herself through the window but will not exit unless officers have a warrant.

Law enforcement is on the scene and, currently, traffic is blocked on 7th Street.

Please remember that information gathered from initial reports is subject to revision as more facts become available.

UPDATE 3:24 p.m.: A subject has exited the house and been searched and detained.

To be fair, Jerry Springer ain’t seen nothing. His head would explode if he ever heard about the sheer white trash meth fueled craziness that is this place.

It’s covid related. Shhhhh don’t tell anyone. Domestic violence is 10 times what it was from last year. Suicide hotline has an increased 600%! call volume. Yep. Stay home. It will save you.

Whatever. Cite your source for those claims. Go on with your bad self, and go outside then [edit]. nobody is stopping you.
Covid life ain’t so bad. I’m enjoying having my son and wife around more, helping out, and working on projects. He’s not as stressed and perma tired getting up in the predawn every day for school. All in all way more civilized. If you can quit making it into a political thing like [edit], you won’t have to reach so far to criticize the best response to a bad situation.

This lady if you can call her that apparently lied about the rifle and was choking herself. How does one choke themselves? This might be a case of going crazy because of being in the house for too many days. The two of them should take a walk on the beach and sit without talking and look and listen to the birds and the waves washing up on the beach. That time out can be topped by two scoop ice cream cones. Then start the discussion as to what they can do to even the crinkles in their relationship.

She wants the house to herself and still wants to know where the boyfriend is at all times.

We knew a guy who went to live Jerry Springer show back in the 90’s. He took acid and started heckling. A large African American woman in front of him got up, turned around and knocked his ass out, lol.

No firearms. Call not as described. Sounds like a female lied to 911 to get a police response after an argument…
