She reportedly threatened to castrate him—though she didn't use such formal language—if he didn't return her "blue cell phone." The man was very confused, he said, because he didn't have the cell phone.

The woman called him a total of 11 times between 2:52 p.m. and 3:58 p.m. and left violent, threatening voice mail messages on his answering machine, according to the report. Her speech was slurred and lethargic, police said. When an officer called the phone number the woman was calling from, the suspect answered. She said she had never called the victim's number and that she was trying to call her sister, police said. The victim didn't sign complaints against her.
