Reports of a domestic dispute being loudly played out in the middle of the street at approximately 7:30 a.m. last Thursday brought police to the Loring and Osgood St. area to investigate.

Upon arrival, officers reportedly spotted a man and a woman arguing with one another in the street. According to reports, the woman, identified as Krystal Morelli, 29, was particularly boisterous, screaming at her boyfriend as the argument ensued.

The couple had been assisted by police earlier that morning, as Morelli’s boyfriend had told the officers that she intended to harm herself.

After convincing police that the matter was resolved they cleared the area, only to be called back a short time later due to the public disturbance underway as they arrived the second time.

The officers interceded and tried to calm the situation, according to reports, but Morelli continued shouting and declared that it was a public street and that she had every right to be there.

Morelli’s boyfriend was questioned by the officers and he reportedly told them that Morelli had threatened to do damage to his car.

As police questioned the man Morelli reportedly became even more agitated and began walking away, saying that she was going to their apartment where she would destroy his personal property.

Officers made an attempt to explain to Morelli that the boyfriend intended to have a restraining order placed against her and that she should not go to the apartment and should not destroy any of his property.

Officers continued to follow Morelli, attempting to calm her down, but she reportedly continued screaming and making threats, including ones to the officers.

After a brief struggle, Morelli was placed under arrest and charged with disorderly conduct.
