Since when does one kick down the front door of a friends apartment?

The Spanish translation for this story has got to have the word “drogas” in it.

You would think that somebody would know that is not a good idea to do, anywhere in Texas.

“Since when does one kick down the front door of a friends apartment?”

Hubby tells some story about being in Boston and breaking into a friend’s third story apartment in one of those 3 family homes that are common up there. They were hanging off a fire escape or something like that.

Don’t know where the friend was but luckily no one got dead over it.

The resident of the apartment woke up, retrieved a handgun and called out to the individual, but did not receive an answer, cops said.

Don't buy the story at all. In Texas, you are raised to retrieve the handgun, then wake up.
