9:24 a.m. – The owner of a Lynwood business told police a driver in a large U-Haul truck hit a parked car but didn’t leave a note.

Police discovered the truck had been rented from Renton.

Police talked to a woman who was seen moving out of a nearby apartment, and she became hostile when confronted and accused the officer of having an attitude.

Witnesses who saw the interaction between the officer and the woman said the officer was “very nice under the circumstances.”

The woman with the U-Haul was shown the damage to the other car, and became hostile again. She said the driver of the truck had left a note on the car. When asked for the name of the person who was driving the truck, the woman refused to say. When told that witnesses had identified the woman as the driver of the truck, she became belligerent and surly.

The driver then told the officer not to touch her or the car.

A citation for hit-and-run was sent to the court.
