YOu need to follow the law as to landlord/tenant. First you must send a certified letter to your roommate informing them that they have 10 days to comply or leave. AFter the 10 days period, go to the courthouse and get the documents to file for eviction. ONly a judge can evict - not the police. If the roommate does not pay the rent or leave or appear for the hearing, the judge will issue an order to evict. THEN THE police will comply.
