I just had to call the police on my drunk neighbour. He left in his truck, and is hammered. I hate living across the road from this idiot!! Needed to vent. I seriously can't wait to move eventually.
The sad part is, his wife called me (she was at a friends house) and said he was drunk, and that if I would see him leave to call. So I did. He is an abusive alcoholic asshole.

MY fingers are crossed they do! His wife came over to thank me for calling the police on him. She said the police are waiting outside the reception hall he's at for when he leaves. My fingers are crossed!
The world needs more people like you, who do something about dangerous people instead of just complaining about them. Your call could have saved someone's life tonight.
I'm so sad for the wife. I can't imagine being in a relationship where I have to ask my neighbor to essentially babysit my husband and report him to the police. She's lucky to have your support.

I'm so worried for her and the kids. I wish I could just rent them a place to get away from him. I so badly want them happy and safe. It's so hard seeing seeing what an abusive situation they are in.
Fuck guys. The police didn't get him last night I know it's hard for them in a rural area at night, with less staff, but I'm so sick of him getting away with this ?. The police encouraged his wife to file domestic charges against him, but she's not ready. I hate seeing his selfishness taking a toll on her and the kids. She came over for tea around 11:30 last night to talk. Anyone have any ideas on how to help them out? I have the oldest girl watch the kids for me 3-4 times a month to help them out. Give nice clothes to the girls at Christmas so they have a few nice things, and always encourage them to come over. I gave the wife numbers and pamphlets of all area resources. I'm storing away things for them if/when they move out. Any other tips? I know I can't make them leave him, but this is so hard to watch. I also plan to continue to call the police when I see him drive drunk. Fuck this family needs to catch a break.
There's probably not much else you can do until she's ready to do it for herself. Keep supporting her but be careful, I'm not sure it's entirely fair for her to continue to expect you to call the police when she's not willing/able to do it. I'm glad you called though, that's kind of how it works in small towns, the more people that call the more he's on their radar and they'll pick him up sometime randomly bc they'll recognize his vehicle. That happens enough time and he might be out in jail for long enough for her to gain some confidence and clear her head. Good luck.
The only reason she had me do it last night was because she wasn't home to call, so she didn't know when he'd be driving. I think she's hoping he'll get caught and it will be a big reason for her to divorce him. I really hope it doesn't take an car accident for him to get caught. I'm huge on not doing risky/irresponsible things behind the wheel, so I'll continue to call if I know he's drunk. The police officer that came over last night was great. He also said if police run his plate, it will come up that people have called regarding his drunk driving. I pray he gets caught soon.
