He told Officers that his girlfriend of two months has an ex-boyfriend that drivers a white truck.

Neighbors told Officers that they saw a man banging on the trailer and it appeared to them as if he broke two windows on the side of the home.  They also said the man outside was armed with a handgun.  They saw the man bang loudly on the front door, and then step back and point the handgun in the direction of the front door waiting for someone to answer.
