December 16 approx. My roommate confronted me in the kitchen over using plates where I rent a furnished room from her in a house where she is the tenant. when I continued to use the plate she grabbed me and tried wrestling it away. When i held it in place she punched me in the face to loosen my grib, trashing my salmon dinner, broken plate, asparagus on floor; left my nose bloody, hair pulled and glasses broken. I looked a hot mess.

I am more then capable of defending myself, but knew from north Carolina defense laws all i had to do endure the abuse and call the police with physical evidence of an assault for an immediate arrest. She called first because my phone was upstairs. I attempted to call 911 once i calmed down, less then 2 minutes after, with no answer. 3 attempts 911 dial, called 3 different dispatch lines with no answer before this department responded in person to her call. because she told them I put my hands on her, when she was completely composed, hair done, make up in place. they told me they would arrest me if I press charges.

This occurred mid December. Less then a week later said roommate vandalized my scooter in her garage which is only accessible from the inside prior to opening the garage door. Completely scratched up my 100 helmet which was in the house. Pictures also attached. I called the police, they did not even send an officer. Officer goodrum called me, took a report, gave me a case number, i emailed pictures, and spoke with Sgt. Wyatt, shift supervisor of the evening crew that threatened arresting me.

Over $700 in damages to scooter. They do not even contact me again and no arrests. Under the sun scooters maintains my scooter and made the repairs. They loaned me a rental. I get home 530 from work, 6 pm I hear noise in front of house. I look out the window and she is pushing it into the street and I have a picture of her, scooter, and her car she used to run over said scooter.

Can you guess what has happened?? officer fletcher responded. Saw picture, saw her wearing same dark clothes, she admitted to exiting the house at 6pm at time of my call. He gave me a card, another case number, and ... he threatens if i choose to continue to live here and call the police again, they will arrest me.

My advice? Do not need police assistance in horry co. Move to myrtle city limits or surfside beach for a competent police department who enforces justice. Or hire a good lawyer after the fact and sue the department. My next plan of action.

As of January 10 I have heard nothing from this department, officer goodrum who took the report and I emailed her personally and spoke with her for 20 minutes on a break at work to get her contact information and what was going to happen. Or Sgt Wyatt who had 2 officers respond initially and scooter rental call that threatened to arrest me with no previous encounters ever with law enforcement. Following day roommate vandalized rental scooter. They filed a report as well.

I posted the pictures on their website. Wont upload here.

April 23, 2018 Although i have photos as you all can see of her pushing my moped in front of her car, police inform me it's inconclusive. I have had no help from the police department with this issue. To add to the frustration I was threatened in a video by a different female a few days ago. I showed the video to the police and they said since I did not make myself available to her to be attacked a crime was not committed.
