Mercedes Driver Touchy about His Car
Police were called to a Pearl Road store April 18 by a man driving a Mercedes who said he had just had a road rage incident with someone who worked there.

Cloak, No Dagger
A witness told police someone draped head to toe in a black cloak was acting strangely near Sylvan Learning Center, 15201 Pearl Rd., about 6:20 p.m. April 17.

 behind a pillar.

Cart Rage
A woman went all the way to the top when the wind blew an unattended cart into her car, causing damage, as she drove in the Costco lot April 18.
Costco told her the store was not responsible for the wind blowing carts, so the woman called the mayor's office and was advised to file a police report.
Police said that because there was no criminal act, they would take the complaint for documentation only.

Woman Cited After Throwing Sandwich At Burger King Employee
A woman threw a double cheeseburger at a Burger King employee after she claimed the sandwich was not made fresh, and demanded a refund from the Mayfield Road store.
Employees called Cleveland Heights Police and reported that the woman was shouting obscenities earlier. According to employees, the 31-year-old Cleveland resident pulled in the drive-through and asked them to remake the double cheeseburger several times while her children ate their food in the car.
She apparently was not satisfied with the new burgers, chucked one at an employee and demanded a refund for her entire purchase.
Police cited the woman with disorderly conduct.
  
Noisy Driver
A Commons Oval woman complained April 13 that for the last month, a man on her street blasts his radio every time he drives by, and also waves a flag out the window and shouts "I am an American."
Police said they would speak with the man.

Totally makes me think of this guy:

  1. This is America, they should learn the rules, such as not taking pictures of anything.

    I'm guessing her burger tasted like piss & flies.

    Now *that* is a care package.

    What am I, some filthy hippie?
