According to the report, police had dealt with Trimble twice before in the evening. Earlier, a woman at another residence had asked police to remove Trimble from her property after he broke a mirror. She did not want to press charges. Then several minutes later, the Dunkin Donuts on Broadway reported that Trimble was inside the store without a shirt or shoes on and wouldn't leave.

Police at the time advised Trimble to return home to 3 Prarie Avenue, where he was said to be staying. But by the time the officer returned to the station, dispatch advised that the resident on Everett Street was reporting that he had been awoken by Trimble, who was lying in his driveway.
