32-year-old Billy Murhula Mataboro was robbed near his Whispering Oaks Place residence in the early hours of April 11th. When officers arrived, they spoke with Mataboro, who was stumbling around the parking lot and reeked of alcohol. They tried questioning him about the occurrence, but he was very “hyped up” and would not listen to them, yelling he had been robbed repeatedly. Then, while Mataboro explained what happened, he kept making threats to kill whoever was responsible, stating he would just “handle it himself.” Officers gave him numerous chances to calm down, advising him he could not make threats of that nature. After Mataboro finished providing his report, he said he was going to go over there and harm the other individuals involved. For the safety of himself and others, Mataboro was taken into custody for public intoxication.
