Officers were called to an apartment on High Street for a criminal threatening complaint, according to an arrest report and court document. The woman alleged that Dafoe, who lived below her, was “banging on her door threatening to harm her” because she called police earlier in the evening. The woman told the officer she was sleeping when she heard a loud band at her apartment door. She got up, looked through the peep hole, and it allegedly was Dafoe banging on the door. She asked Dafoe to leave but he allegedly kept banging on the door, saying, “I know you were the one who called the police earlier, you better not do it again.” Later, he allegedly screamed, “I going to kill you, you better not call the police again.” Even though the door was locked, she was afraid he would be able to break in. The officers then spoke to the woman’s daughter and other tenants who heard the screaming. The officers then visited Dafoe who reportedly told police he was upset the woman called police because he was being too loud and allegedly confirmed that he did go up stairs to speak with her. He denied banging on the door loudly and making threats. According to other officers, police had been sent to the building a few hours before, for a report of screaming and things being thrown around in Dafoe’s apartment. Officers told him to “remain away from the caller” in the other apartment and to not make any loud or unreasonable noises in the hallway. When asked if the police had been there previously and warned he’d be arrested, Dafoe reportedly answered in the affirmative. When asked why he didn’t obey the order, Dafoe allegedly stated, “Because she’s a b-tch and I know she’s the one who keeps calling the cops on me.” He was arrested and held without bail.
