A man and woman spent Sunday night arguing—again and again.
According to the blotter of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, the couple's tempestuous relationship prompted three calls to police services beginning at 10:22 p.m.
The fight apparently began in the parking lot of the unit on the 22700 block of El Prado.
About 30 minutes later, without a referee in a uniform, they were at it again. And 50 minutes after that, they started up again—apparently seeking another visit from deputies.
Finally, one of the parties was given a ride elsewhere, bringing the neighborhood some peace.
Should I stay or should I go
A girl called 9-1-1 to report her sister and mother were in a physical altercation.

The call came Sunday, 8:27 a.m., from the 29700 block of Melinda Road.
