Authorities are investigating the death of a 23-year-old military police officer who was found face down in his bed and unresponsive.
According to the incident report, the man did not wake up after a woman who resides with him could not wake him up even after repeatedly shaking him. She informed authorities the man went to bed around 9:30 p.m. and she went into the bedroom around two hours later and noticed his leg was hanging off the side of the bed. She placed his leg back on the bed and covered him up and later went to sleep.
The report notes the woman woke up at 5:30 a.m. when the alarm went off and yelled for him to wake up. She then realized he was not breathing and immediately called 911.
EMS was already on the scene when police arrived and informed them they found the man face down and unresponsive on the bed and had rolled him over for analysis and treatment. The case was given to detectives.

The complainant returned later and found most of her belongings had been thrown out on the front porch. She asked police to use her key to open the door and check on the man’s wellbeing. They found the man sleeping on the couch.

Police were dispatched to a residence to resolve a fight between a husband and wife who were arguing about a neighbor. The wife reported she was upset that her husband allows the neighbor to use their wireless Internet access because he uses it to surf inappropriate sites. She told police she confronted her husband about the situation and he became angry, started using profanity and, when she turned to walk away, placed her in a full-nelson grip. He said he was only defending himself after she hit him. He stated his wife then went to the kitchen and grabbed a stove pot, so he immediately left the house to avoid any further altercation.
