The next time he starts to verbally assault you, dial 9-1-1 on your cell phone and let the dispatchers hear his drunken tirade...then when he's done, get on your phone and tell the dispatcher your address and that you'd like to have him "spoken to" by someone as this is a recurring problem. Really play up the 'victim' role - it works wonders (I myself am just like you, I'll call a guy out in a heartbeat LOL) But, making it sound like you are in fear of your personal safety, especially after being silent during his tirade (which will be on tape by now) will score marks for you with the responding officers.

It worked when my neighbors would cuss at me for mowing my yard at 1pm on a Sunday!!! (Poor babies had hangovers - wah.)
