TV channel-changing dispute ends in arrest
May 4, 2008, 11:47 PM
A woman in the 1500 block of Gunderson told police her boyfriend got mad at her for changing the channel on the TV, so he grabbed the remote and pushed her. They began to argue and the next thing she knew, her cousin—a man from the 2700 block of Clarence—was pounding on their front door. The door was damaged during the incident. The boyfriend’s version: the woman started the argument and threatened to damage his TV. The cousin’s take: he heard the argument and tried to force his way in to protect the woman. A check of the 29-year-old boyfriend’s name revealed an active Melrose Park police department warrant for battery; he was arrested for both offenses.
