...hoped that ***SOMETHING*** criminal or at least embarrassing would turn up in that house...

You put your finger on it. Hoped they'd find a joint or some prescription drug that could be extrapolated to "the victim was high and acting strangely."

Exactly!! And I find the "loud noise" story that morphed into "she slapped the car" highly suspect as well...sounds like an "excuse" was being developed from the driver officer/partner initial statement/cover story that was intended to try & protect his partner w/o sticking his neck out too far.
