Loud, Drunken Foul-Mouthed Neighbor Kept Making A Scene Until She Was Arrested: Cops
At one point she spat on a neighbor who told her to go away, police said.

The law reportedly showed up at 54-year-old Karen Nisivaco’s Crescent Park Drive apartment building four times in less than 40 minutes before they finally arrested her on March 19.
The first time, about 6 p.m., an officer “observed Karen shouting obscenities at (a neighbor’s) apartment,” police said.
“She stopped shouting when she saw me approach,” the officer said, according to a police report.
Nisivaco “voluntarily stated she had issues with her next-door neighbors calling them ‘a--holes,’” the report said. “I advised Karen to leave her neighbors alone and to be civil. As I was leaving I observed Karen stick half her body out of her apartment into the hallway and yell ‘f--- you’ towards her neighbor’s … apartment. I asked her to, once again, return to her apartment and maintain civil relations with her neighbor.”
Things apparently didn’t go that way, as the cops were back soon after and heard from one of Nisivaco’s neighbors that she was “yelling (and) using profanity towards him after he asked her to lower her music,” police said.
The neighbor also reportedly related how “he has had previous encounters with Karen behaving belligerently towards him and other neighbors.”
“As I made my way towards Karen’s apartment a second time, I observed her music being played at an unreasonable volume throughout the hallway (and) upstairs,” an officer said.
“She was singing very loudly,” the officer said. “I had to knock on Karen’s door repeatedly before she opened the door.”
The officer wrote a ticket for disorderly conduct, police said, which Nisivaco refused to sign.
“While issuing Karen the citation, I observed a strong odor of alcoholic beverage on her breath,” the officer said. “Her speech was slurred and she was constantly swaying back and forth. I asked if she had been drinking and she advised she had.”
The officer again told Nisivaco to leave her neighbors alone, police said, but once more that was apparently too much to ask, as the cops were called back in a matter of minutes.
“I returned to the scene and spoke with (a resident) who stated Karen returned to his apartment and began yelling and banging on his door,” an officer said. The resident “advised he opened his door to tell her to leave, at which time Karen spit on his arm.”
At this point, the officers reportedly decided to take Nisivaco into custody.
Nisivaco allegedly struggled with officers when they tried to place her in a squad car. She was arrested and charged with battery and once more with disorderly conduct.
