(no subject)
a year ago today, i lost my step dad, bill (william in the article), to a jail. it was really hard on all of my family because i lost my step brother too.
..we were all standing by the back door crying as my mom said to run to the neighbor's if we heard anything upstairs. she had gotten in a fight with him minutes before that and he got pissed and started throwing stuff at her but missed and broke a mirror and the TV. she called the police and that's when we were standing at the door. she was crying and scared becuase he owns guns and kept them in the closet in the room he was in upstairs. when we heard the door open upstairs, we all ran to the neighbor's house behind ours. i remember watching through the neighbor's window the whole time crying, as i saw im sitting at the kitchen table in my house hand cuffed.
i'll never forget the way he treated us though.. shitty and abusive. he needed a lot of help.. he tried commiting suiced after he got out of jail and is now in a mental house. the newspaper article down there is out of the Naperville Sun Newspaper from Wednesday, January 25, 2004.
Man arrested following disturbance at his home
A Naperville man has a date pending in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton after being arrested Thursday night following an apparent argument at his house. William F. Forst, 39, was charged with aggravated assault, a felony. His arrest followed a disturbance that brought at least 10 Naperville police officers to the Lakewood Crossing neighborhood on the city's west side. Police were called to the area around 8:30 p.m. Thursday by Forst's wife, Julie, who had gone to a neighbor's home on the 1200 block of Lakewood Circle. The Forsts live with their children Kevin, Katya, Kayla, and Liam, in a house on adjacent Samuel Court. William Forst apparently became involved in a quarrel with someone in the home. Police Sargent Joel Truemper, said W. Forst began yelling during the incident and started breaking furnishings inside the house. Forst at one point hurled a pressure cooker that shattered a mirror somewhere in the home, Truemper said. A large contingent of officers was sent to the Samuel Court area because police at first were uncertain of the nature or magnitude of the problem with which they would be dealing, Truemper said. "This was not a standoff or hostage crisis or anything like that," Truemper said after being asked about the incident. Police, after assessing the situation, placed a call to Forst's home telephone number, and he emerged peacefully from the house around 9:28 p.m., Truemper said.
