Police Beat
Excuse my SUV
A frustrated SUV driver blocked in by a car just decided to ram it out of his way Thursday afternoon, police said. The incident at a restaurant in the 1100 block of Morningside Drive began when the owner of the car parked it in such a way that it blocked a green Ford Explorer. The driver left a note on his car advising that he was in the restaurant. But when he returned to his car, police said, he found it rammed backward and the Explorer was gone. There was minor damage to the car’s front bumper, police said.
