Nate

A report of a disturbance at a apartment complex involving 15 people, one with a baseball bat.

There were several minor alcohol involved disturbances, which came to a head with a man chasing another with a club.

I get there and start sorting things out. Chris says that a man chased him down the stairway with a stick.
I knock on the door, no one will answers. But a lady comes out of the apartment next door.
"can I help you?"
-do you live here?
"yes with my husband Nate"
-can i see if they he is home?
"yes", she unlocks it and steps away.

I knock and announce, checking each room as I go into the apartment.
After checking several rooms, Nate pops his head out of the bathroom door.
Nate is a hardened felon, time in prison, scars and tattoos to prove it.
-what happened?
"I have been in prison. The three things you don't do 1) hit women 2) don't talk shit 3) don't call me a punk or a rat"
-so what he do
"He called me a punk, was pushing a lady and i had to protect my family. The third time he tried to start a fight with me, I grabbed the club and went after him."

Nate asks to talk to his wife. I allow her in.
"wife I am going to jail, I love you".
He knows before I tell him.
Nate doesn't struggle, argue, protest, put up a fight or lie. He asks for simple considerations to help out his wife, I go out of my way to do those things assist Nate and his wife.
"thank you"
-I appreciate you being cooperative and being respectable.
"I know and I appreciate you helping my wife"
