CBS affiliate KRQE reports that it all started when Cockerill responded to a noise complaint at an apartment complex on Saturday. She was knocking on the door of the person who lodged the complaint when she spotted a man walking down the hallway. Ascertaining that the noise was coming from his apartment, she told him to keep the noise down and respect his neighbors.

“Right before I was about to leave I said, ‘Hey, do you mind? Can I have your name, date of birth, and social security?’ So, he provided me with that information,” she said.

“He had two felony warrants for a homicide and one was for failure to appear on that homicide,” she told NBC affiliate KOB.
