12/20 - Police checked on a situation at a Burdin Boulevard home where a man said his mother ripped the phone cord out of an Xbox while trying to make a call related to food stamps. The man was also concerned about his mother’s health after a friend said she was having trouble breathing. Medical personnel were allowed to come to the residence to check on her.

The man and woman at the residence said that they had argued but nothing physical had occurred, and others present told police the same thing.
