BOYFRIEND DENIES CALLING
On May 5 an officer took a report from a 22-year-old employee of Burger King, 651 16th St., who said her ex-boyfriend had attempted to contact her by phone at work. Because there was a restraining order protecting her from such calls, she alerted police. The woman was told to come to the police department to make a written statement. On May 6 the officer spoke to the 35-yeear-old manager who said the employee smelled of alcohol, so she was sent home. The officer listened to a recording of the alleged phone call. When the employee answered, he said, "Babe," at which point she said, "You are not supposed to call me and I am calling the police." The manager said she couldn't tell if theman calling was the boyfriend. After calling his probation officer, the officer met with the man, who denied making the call, and told him to think twice before trying to contact the woman. When the officer called the woman to ask why she had not come in to sign a statement, she said she didn't think it was a big deal.
