Background: I rent a room in a house (it's in a rough area of town, the rent was in my price range). There are 5 people renting rooms.
K is an older male.
R is a male in his mid 20's
P is the only other woman. She's 18.
A is a male in his 30's.
K, R, and P live on the second story. I have the only room on the first story. A rents both rooms in the basement. /end background
Last night I come home from work just before 11 and R and A are on the front porch. R is drinking and already intoxicated. A is just seems to be chilling.
I go to my room (just on the other side of a wall of windows from the porch) and chill cause I have Wednesday (today) off.
A comes to my door to ask if I want him to order some food for me when he orders from myself.
Before A goes to get his food R comes into the house and slams the front door causing the mirror on my wall to sway.
I go out and ask him to not slam the door and he gets mad at the accusation (despite him being the only one that could have done it, A was still on the porch).
Shortly before A comes back from getting his food R starts making a lot of noise. He's blasting music on his computer, yelling, clapping, pounding the walls (which are woefully thin), trying to get into both K and P's rooms, pounding on their doors. All of which I can hear from my room. At some point P is on the phone with her mom (who's a retired federal cop) and R threatens P and her mom gets mad.
5 minutes later P's mom comes storming in the house. She calls the cops.
They get there fast cause someone (and we're not sure who) mentions a knife to the dispatcher. 6 cops and a paddywagon within like 5 minutes of the call. After talking with the cops for 10 to 15 minutes R is given a warning and told to go to bed.
Cops leave and so does P's mom.
2 hours later and R's still being a loud obnoxious ass and this time he's harrassing P and me (I previously had just been a bystander). P calls the cops again.
He's again given a warning and told to go to bed. He's told if they see him out of his room and/or the house the next time he's going to spend the night in jail.
After they leave R pesters and harasses P. She comes downstairs to ask me for some bandaids. R then decides he wants to leave (it being around 2:30 am) and go to the store. P locks the top lock to the front door (our keys only work on the bottom lock). R comes back shortly after and when he realizes he's locked out he starts pounding on the door. He goes around back and tries that after a while. Then he comes back up front and starts throwing rocks at my windows and P's windows. He throws a rock through one of my windows. The whole time P calls the cops maybe 4 times cause they're not coming (even though the police presence is constant in this area). I'm freaking out so bad I lock my door and go upstairs to hide in P's room.
When the cops get there shortly after they arrest R on Destruction of Property and either Drunk and Disorderly or Disturbing the Peace.
This isn't the first time he's done something to piss off a housemate or neighbor. But from the sounds of it it'll be the last.
As of now (3:08 pm) the landlady is getting the locks changed and R is still in jail.
This will no doubt not be the end.

don't stress too much over it. It sounds like, in the original post, things escalated pretty quick... 
Don't be surprised if you have to call the cops again.
