The driver said he was trying to get home from Florida. He was listed as a juvenile and was told he would have to be released to a parent or guardian. The boy’s mother was said to be half an hour behind them, so they went to a truck stop to fill out paperwork and wait.

Matter of record: An officer was sent May 16 to a parking lot near Kroger for a road rage incident around the Highway 17 and Highway 144 intersection that led to an argument in a parking lot. The complainant said the driver cut front of her and then slammed on brakes, nearly causing her to wreck. The other driver said he was trying to get over but her car was matching his speed, making it impossible to do so, so he got behind her, made a turn and then she began following him closely. He said he tapped his brakes because she was following so closely but said no impact was made. He said he was taking his kids to get a haircut and she followed him to the parking lot, got out and started cussing at him. Both drivers got case numbers. 

Matter of record: An employee of a shop on Highway 144 said a customer made threats to “cap” everyone in the store and then drove off in a Prius. The complainant reported the incident happened around 9:30 p.m. May 10 while he was helping other customers. The suspect tried to open a locked case and then used profanities after being asked to wait, then made the threat before leaving. The employee was concerned the man might come back and asked police to wait with him until he closed up. They did.
