A Des Moines man called police several times to complain about relatives who were staying at his house. In the end he finally went to jail.
Police said William Foster, 64, was arrested on charges of simple assault on a police officer and false reports to law enforcement authorities. He was being held in the Polk County Jail this morning on $1,300 bond.
Police responded to a report of a dispute at Foster's residence at 1865 E. Creston Ave. about 7 p.m. Wednesday. Officers said Foster's common-law wife was in the hospital and her family members have been visiting from Tennessee.
In a report officers said, "We stepped inside to speak with the female parties involved. All parties were extremely agitated and continued to argue loudly despite our repeated attempts to calm them. In our presence. Foster threatened to kill one of the ladies."
Officers told Foster that since the visitors were invited guests and no crime had been committed they could not force them to leave. They said Foster became extremely upset.
Police said Foster called back several times. At one point he said he'd been hit over the head with a frying pan 12 times and with a flashlight 6 or 8 times. Suspects apparently had left and police promised detectives would investigate.
The police department reportedly received 7 calls from 1865 Creston on Wednesday and officers were dispatched to the address three times. It was on the third trip that officers decided to take Foster into custody. He was taken to Broadlawns Medical Center for treatment of physical injuries before being taken to jail.
