Police arrested a Point Breeze man whose alleged display of jealousy including pouring hot oil on his ex-girlfriend’s current beau.
Responding at 1:35 a.m. Friday to a call of a person screaming, police ventured to the 2100 block of Reed Street and learned from the occupant that a former lover had supposedly entered her residence by forcing open the basement window, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The male reportedly woke her current partner, who was sleeping on the living room floor, by pouring hot cooking oil on his leg.
The purported intruder then presumably produced a box cutter and demanded to know the identity of the present lover, declaring “Who are you? Let’s go, (racial slur). Let’s box. I’ll ****ing kill you.” The daughter of the female occupant heard the commotion, Tolliver said, and came downstairs, instructing the alleged aggressor to stop and to leave.
The witness contends the figure left, and she called the police, who observed a man matching her provided description on the 2100 block of Dickinson Street. Following positive identification by the complainant and the recovery of evidence from his person, they arrested Charles Carson, of the 2200 block of Dickinson Street. The 48-year-old had not posted his $50,000 bail as of press time and awaits an Oct. 28 preliminary hearing for assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and making terroristic threats.
