Police Officer Preparation & Law Enforcement Resource - Archive

My boyfriend and I moved into federal housing together, he was the main tenant and I was co-tenant. He is disabled and takes various med including oxycontin and drinks 24/7. He would go into outbursts of rage and of course everytime I tried to leave he would try to restrain me. One night I went for a walk, because I had a couple beers and wasn't going to drive anywhere. I went back and he began fighting with me so I started packing my things and he took my cell phone so I could not call anyone. He started grabbing me and shaking me and yelling. I pushed the emergencey button in the bathroom which alerts EMS and met them down there, told them what was going on and they dispatched the cops. When the cops got there they told my Bf to give me my things, my phone etc. Then had me call a freind to come pick me up. I put my belongings in my vehicle, shut it and walked towards my ride and my bf is yelling at the cops that I had beer in my van and just went and got it to take with me, which was a lie.

Anyway to get to my question, the federal housing he lives in by himself now, had a meeting with him to determine whether to evict him and he stated to me that they have police reports from when I called the police that state on there that I am a psychotic girlfreind who obvously doesn't love him and it references "5150" several times and that my stupid butt should look it up because-he claims if I don't give his property that I have he is calling the police and I am going to jail.

Over the weekend he cried wolf and said he was puking blood and I said I will call 911 for you. He said if I did he would shoot himself then he wouldn't answer the phone for hours. I was worried and had them go over there and he finally answered the police and said he was sleeping and to tell that crazy azz B#$%% to stop calling him.

I'm not sure what he is up to and why he is referencing "5150". If he lures me over there, could it be he can call the cops and say she is crazy and trying to kill me, and they take me away?

Anyway Please Advise.

I'm not a cop or a lawyer but I think the 5150 code is a code to describe a mentally disturbed person.
And the best thing for you to do is cut your ties with this person completely. If you have anything of his send it back to him via confirmed mail. If you don't have anything that belongs to him the burden of proof falls to him and he would have to take you to court for it. It's a civil matter not a police matter.


If he lures me over there, could it be he can call the cops and say she is crazy and trying to kill me, and they take me away?
Of course he could say that. Don't waste your time going there, unless you like the trouble.

5150?? Never heard of it. No, wait, I have heard of it. Van Halen released an album in 1986 which was titled "5150". But I have never heard of it used in law enforcement.

Sounds like you need to leave him, permanently. Don't answer any calls from him, don't reply to any emails from him. Be done with it.

If you value you health, well being , sanity, personal safety and freedom...you will dump this loser and move on. You have already shown poor judgment by moving in with a person who takes strong painkillers and drinks 24/7. Did you expect this to be a country cottage with a white picket fence , 2.5 kids and a dog ?

If you CHOOSE to go back as many do you will likely get the opposite of the above list coming down on you.

This man has a spinal cord injury and has nerve damage, amongst other problems. As far as making poor judgment, he was not like this prior to moving in with him. For the most part he can be a very caring and loving person but then have an outburst. I think he needs some psychiatric care. There is alot going on with him, especially the low self esteem not being able to be a "MAN" as he once was and needs help doing anything he loves to to, fishing, hunting, etc. So no I did not expect a picket fence or anything like that. What I did not expect was the monster who appeared out of no-where.

If the 5150 Law references mentally disable or unstable, which I have read about this in the CA law, but can't find anything for Michigan, then perhaps it would benefit him for law enforcement to take him away and recieve treatment. I find it hard to believe that they would reference me as a 5150, simply for having a couple beers or perhaps he told them lies saying I tried to kill him, or I beat him up, or I threw him down, who knows. But I do know he has made comments like this before. Because of his disability he does have balance issues and trips and falls alot. And one time he tried to say that I caused him to fall and I argued that I didn't. That may have been one of those days where he had too much to drink or perhaps took more than needed pain killers. I began telling him not to come near me when he started arguments with me because I didn't want to be blamed for any harm that may have come to him from falling down or losing balance and falling into the table etc.

It just goes to show that you really don' t know who someone is until you move in with them.
