On Monday April 23, 2012 at approximately 6:15 pm I Officer John Doe received a radio call to 1630 Featherstone Ave, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326 in reference to a domestic violence call. Upon my arrival at the call location I was met at the door by the caller Rose Smith who stated that the suspect, her ex-husband Ron Smith had left the scene in her 2010 Ford Focus. Rose Smith told me that Ron Smith slapped her in the face with an open hand when the two were arguing about how much Ron had to drink. Rose stated, “Ron is a very mean drunk.”
