SO, I was just put into this scenario. And it was just after 1AM. Banging on my front door, someone with a female voice asking for help. I grabbed my firearm went to the door but didn't open it and said loudly "WHO IS IT" She just said some babble that I couldn't understand. I said "I am going to call the police" she said, "yes police, I need an ambulance". So I grabbed the phone, dialed 911 and told them that there is someone banging on my front door, a female voice, I can't see who it is, they won't tell me who it is.
As the police were on their way I said to the person at the door "HELP IS ON THE WAY", then she kept saying "I need help, I need an ambulance" and said my name, and the previous home owners name. I could not see out any window and was skeptical. I couldn't confirm that the voice was a neighbor at the time and I was leery to open the door thinking it could be some kind of trap. Had she just used my name and not the name of the previous owner and stated her own name I may have opened up but I didn't. I kept thinking at any moment someone was going to come busting through my back door and that it was some sort of ruse.
Police arrive...***JUST edited out all the details of everything that was said, not sure if I should post all that*****
So basically it was my neighbor who was very intoxicated, so much that I didn't even recognize the voice. She was sitting on my porch vomiting so I couldn't see who it was. I feel bad that I didn't aide my neighbor right away but I was skeptical.
Now, it was a 2am knock on the door, I called her an ambulance. I asked if she was positive that she needed one and she said "yes", I said that she might get arrested if they come out again and asked if she was sure, she said "yes". I tried to call her parents (also a neighbor) but they didn't answer, neither did her husband who was sleeping.
I feel I did the right thing by not blindly answering even though it WAS just my neighbor.
Just a few blasts of the hose to clean off the vomit (twice) I told all the officers that they are good neighbors and if at all possible I wouldn't want to see them with any charges against them, that I wasn't put out much and that it is ok. They agreed.
I missed an OC opportunity to be carrying in front of like 6 cops though, I was just in my sleep attire so when I was outside speaking with the police I left my firearm inside.
DANG, they also took my blanket in the ambulance with her too /doubleangryface
