Officers respond to 2 ‘nuisance houses’

Police took two “nuisance house” reports during the weekend, one in northern Lawrence and one at a student-oriented complex on the southwest side.

¢ Police were dispatched about 3:30 a.m. Sunday to an apartment at The Legends, 4101 W. 24th Place.

The officer could hear loud music from inside the apartment and found 8 to 10 people inside, LPD spokeswoman Kim Murphree said.

A 23-year-old resident of the apartment was arrested and booked into the Douglas County Jail.

Murphree said police previously had been called to the same apartment in May 2005, June 2005, July 2005 and February 2006.

¢ About 3 a.m. Sunday, officers were called to a home at 328 Birch Lane.

They found a group of about 12 people outside, who began dispersing when police arrived, according to a report.

Previously, officers had been called to the home June 2 and June 3 for reports of a disorderly conduct and a fight in progress.

The residents of the apartment, a 21-year-old and 20-year-old male, weren’t arrested, but police sent a report to municipal court for possible charges.
