What was that all about?

I had to go out this morning. I had to head to WaWa to get some bread. The traffic was fairly light, for a change, until I got close to a wholesale company. The traffic got very heavy… actually it was just about stopped.

There were a lot of police and fire vehicles going into the lot. I didn’t see any smoke or flames. I went on to the store and when I came back all the police and fire vehicles were gone. It had only been about 5 minutes. I’m guessing it was some kind of false alarm.

Scuffle with police

A man in Northfield got into a scuffle with police in front of his daughter’s school. The man is disabled and all of the handicapped spaces were taken by people without handicapped tags or placards so he parked his car somewhere else and evidently didn’t park it to the satisfaction of a Northfield police officer. The officer ordered the man to move his car and wouldn’t listen to any explanation the man tried to give. Instead he wrestled the disabled man to the ground and cuffed him which made his injury from a prior automobile accident worse.

This sounds like a case for a Lexington personal injury lawyer to me. The man was cuffed and dragged into the police car and his daughter was left standing in the rain on the sidewalk with no supervision. The man has filed complaints in the case.

Threats & music

A man in New Hampshire threatened to slit his neighbors’ throats after they reported him for playing loud music. The man was charged with three counts of criminal threats and two counts of criminal mischief after he admitted punching a hole in the neighbors’ wall.

Police gave the man a ticket for noise coming from his audio racks earlier in the day, but the neighbors called the police again about a half hour later. Police said the man went to the neighbors’ apartment to apologize, but things didn’t work out well. The man began yelling, pulled out a pocket knife and threatened to slit their throats.

The neighbors slammed the door and were not hurt.

Absecon Theft

Police charged 4 men in connection with a burglary in Absecon. An off duty officer saw a man walk from behind a house and get into a car that drove up to meet him. As the car was moving, a third man appeared and got into the back seat of the car. The off duty officer followed the car until police showed up. They held the car while they checked the house from which police saw the man exit and found someone had broken into it. Police recovered from the car apparently stolen items including cash, casino chips and a TV. They left closed captioning equipment behind.

Your house isn’t safe even during the day. This happened during the afternoon hours.
