Georgia Tenant Says Landlord’s Son Smashed Her Window and Taillight After Police Took Two Hours to Respond

ATLANTA, GEORGIA – A Georgia tenant says she endured a terrifying ordeal when her landlord’s intoxicated son allegedly vandalized her property, smashing both her bedroom window and her car’s taillight — all while police took nearly two hours to respond to her 911 call.

In a viral post shared online, the woman described the escalating incident, saying the man — who had been drinking despite claiming to be sober — began pounding on a neighbor’s door before turning aggressive toward her when she intervened.

“He broke his ‘sobriety’ and drank last night,” she wrote. “First he was kicking on the neighbor’s door to have their dog stop barking, and when I told him to stop, he basically spiraled out of control.”

According to the woman, neighbors called police after the man refused to calm down and allegedly tried to force his way into her home.

Police Arrived Two Hours Late, Tenant Claims

The woman said officers didn’t arrive until nearly two hours after the initial call — by which time the suspect had already left.

“Cops didn’t arrive for two hours after we called,” she explained. “By that time he was gone. They said, ‘Well, there’s nothing we can do. Get a restraining order.’”

But the situation reportedly escalated again shortly after the officers left.

The man allegedly returned to the property, smashing her car taillight in full view of his mother and other residents.

“He came back and smashed my taillight while me and his mother watched him,” she wrote. “Called the cops again and finally they got him after he came back a third time.”

Ongoing Safety Concerns

The tenant said she plans to pursue a restraining order following the ordeal and expressed frustration over the lack of immediate police response despite multiple calls for help.

“They told me to get a restraining order — but by the time they finally came back, he was already gone again,” she said. “It’s terrifying knowing he could just come back whenever he wants.”

The woman also noted that the stress of the incident was compounded by a tense atmosphere at home.

“To top it off, my roommate started the morning with, ‘Can you not wash late at night and keep it during the day?’” she wrote. “I swear I’m about to lose it.”

Police Department Response

The local police department has not yet commented on the alleged delay in response time or the current status of the case.

Experts say tenants facing harassment or vandalism from a landlord or family member should document all evidence, file for a restraining order, and report directly to county magistrate courts if they feel unsafe.
