Drunken roommate pushes woman around, tries to do same with cops

March 31, 2007, 7:24 AM
A 21-year-old woman from the 6300 block of 26th Street said she had been out all night and got home at 5 AM to find her male roommate, a 33-year-old man, would not let her inside the apartment. Once she got inside, she found the roommate lying on her bed. She told him to go to his own room. Instead he began to push her around the room, throwing her into a set of shelves and knocking down her TV. She was afraid and called the Cicero man who had just dropped her off and was still outside in his car. He confirmed her story to police. Officers found the roommate in the woman’s bathroom. He had boozy breath and leaned against the wall to keep from sliding to the floor. As officers escorted the handcuffed roommate down three flights of stairs, he got a burst of energy, becoming combative and verbally abusive. Once outside, the roommate broke free, fell down and scraped his face near the eye. He threatened officers, saying "I’m going to kill you m—----f------s! I’m going to kick your asses!" Backup arrived and the man was subdued. He was charged with domestic battery and two counts of resisting a peace officer
