Calling cops on roommate - would they "remove" him?

*UPDATE*
His room has been emptied out, the stuff that he left behind moved to our living room. I was very slick and offered him $50 for his furniture (my new roommate's new to the country and has nothing yet - we saw the same stuff at Ikea today selling for 3 or 4 times that) and he accepted - so Tilly benefitted and we kinda screwed him over for being in a desperate situation that was his doing. It also means that he has less stuff to take out, a win-win situation...He has until monday to take what's left of his personal belongings.

That's cool. He owed you guys money right? If so, write him a receipt and claim "Balance Paid In Full" and you can deduct this from Federal and maybe State income taxes, either as a gift, or as a bad debt.

I'm not totally clear on that final point - write him an itemized bill of what he owes, write that we paid it and then submit it with our taxes?

You only need the receipt if audited. But yes, that's correct.

He's gone, my new roommate moved her stuff in and all is well for now - he's coming in on monday to take his stuff and then we're changing the locks.

You need to whack that fool and dump his chunky sized body in Jersey.
