Ex Took Over My Apartment , Lived In It For Months After A Restraining Order And Eviction Was Filed, Vandalized It Upon Move Out .
Hi! Without getting into to much detail because I don’t want to doxx myself - I had a baby with an extremely abusive man 6 months ago. I fled the abuse immediately after leaving the hospital . Unfortunately during our hospital stay I was approved by a local non profit that was demographic - specific , for an apartment for my baby and I to move in to. My ex is not of this same demographic and he was lazy about getting on the lease , just kind of dodged it and got the keys to the apartment from me while I was very sick with preeclampsia in the hospital. He moved into the apartment before we ever could. He remained in the apartment despite a Family abuse prevention restraining order and was served and eviction notice which he ignored. He stayed in the apartment selling drugs from it for months before moving out. During this time he stalked us across the state from safe place to safe place until eventually I ended up hours away , after months of fleeing and homelessness , in a DV shelter with my newborn . When he moved out recently, I was notified and asked to come clean the apartment out. When I arrived, it was THRASHED . Beyond the normal trapped out drug house thrashed. It was clearly meant as harm towards me. He left a note that was a thinly veiled death threat . There was fentanyl placed throughout the apartment in what I can only assume to be an attempt to poison us . My question is… I have been trying to report this for days and days to the county police department. They are so understaffed that I stay on hold for hours and then am disconnected , over and over again. I don’t know what to do. The place is unsafe and feels like a ticking time bomb with the amount of traps set throughout the apartment . I’m getting pressure from the apartment and the non profit to clean it out. Not only cannot get ahold of the police to report this, I also have been unable to report a long list of violations of the restraining order since I came to town to try to deal with this. I feel so discouraged I don’t know what to do. It feels like a crime scene in my apartment. How can I proceed without getting hurt and following the law? I had to leave town because he already attacked me since I’ve been here . I just am at a loss. There are so many more details and dramas attached to this that are probably irrelevant at this point I can’t sort through what is and isn’t key information because I’m so stressed out , so I apologize for the length and ramble factor in my past. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you .
