COPS: Landlord pulled knife on tenants… grabbed 2-year-old by hair and threw him across room… broke window…. smashed furniture… kicked cop… [VIDEO]
HYANNIS – According to police, a tenant locked herself in a bathroom and called 911 after her landlord became violent and came at her with a knife. The landlord reportedly had already attacked the husband. The landlord also allegedly grabbed the tenant’s 2-year-old son by the hair and threw him across the room.
At about 9:30pm last evening, multiple marked and unmarked patrol units rushed to 72 Arrowhead Drive to stop the violence before things got further out-of-hand.
Upon arrival, patrols observed broken glass and broken furniture in the snow in front of the residence. When they stepped into the home, they observed more broken glass, furniture, and other belongings strewn across the interior.
According to police, based on their initial observations of landlord’s volatile demeanor, they quickly decided to place her in handcuffs. The landlord’s anger reportedly then escalated and she violently kicked one of the arresting officers.
HN spoke to the arresting officer who was allegedly kicked, then observed and photographed a boot print just above the knee on the patrolman’s left pant leg (see photo below). The officer said he was fine in terms of physical injures and did not need medical attention.
(According to sources, the boot was apparently some type of fake Ugg knockoff…)
The toddler needed to be evaluated by medics from the Hyannis FD. The boy fortunately did not need to be transported to CCH for further treatment.
A deputy from the sheriff’s crime scene unit was called to photograph the path of destruction.
Kristie Marie Colon, age 41, who also resides at 72 Arrowhead Drive in a separate unit, was arrested and transported back to Barnstable Police Headquarters for booking and processing.
Officers were still working on paperwork at the time of this report, but Colon is expected to be charged with as many as 8 serious charges, including the felonies of Assault and Battery of a Child, Assault and Battery on a Police Officer, and Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, a knife She is currently being held at the BPD on $5000 cash bail.
Police observed numerous empty beer containers… and it was widely agreed upon that Ms. Colon was highly intoxicated at the time of the alleged rampage…
UPDATE: The call was initially sent out as a landlord/ tenant dispute. It was also learned that the suspect also lived at the same address where she rented an “apartment” to the victims. (Neighbors were unsure whether the apartment was actually a “legal” apartment in the eyes of the town…) Another local news source is reporting the incident as just being a “domestic dispute,” which is somewhat misleading… There are two separate families living at the address, where the suspect’s family rents an “apartment” to the family that were allegedly victimized. The landlord reportedly was intoxicated and began to lash out at one of the tenants with wild accusations… It was not just your typical “domestic dispute” in that it involved two separate families, and a landlord and tenants at the same address.
