Police Blotter: Neighbors Argue Over Kids Damaging Car With Basketball; Man Passed Out At Waffle House Is Just Tired

  • Monday, July 4, 2022

A man on Alexis Circle told police the kids across the street were playing basketball and hit his vehicle, denting it. He said he confronted the father of the kids about the incident. The father said it was not possible due to the damage of the vehicle being on top of the trunk, not the front of the trunk. However, if the man could show him video footage of his kids damaging his car, then he would work it out with him. The man showed the officer camera footage of the kids playing basketball outside, however, the ball struck the bottom, right-side of the bumper, not the trunk of the vehicle. The camera footage is unable to show any footage of the kids kicking or hitting his vehicle on the top part of the trunk of his vehicle where the dent is.
