A woman reported problems with her landlord on Tuesday.
Elisha Cooper, 717 Wayne Street, told police that she received a verbal warning from her landlord, Andrea Randall, that she needed to vacate her residence within five days. This was five days ago, and today he came over and tried to force her to leave.
Police were called at the time and since Randall did not have any legal eviction paperwork, Cooper was allowed to stay.
Cooper left the house and when she returned, the main fuse to the residence has been pulled out, terminating electrical service to the home. Cooper suspects her landlord.
