An officer contacted the driver of a Honda Element, who said said he had been accosted by another driver near the fire station on Buckin Hill Road.

Seeing the truck, the pedestrians did not cross, and the driver of the Honda continued on to Vincent Road. The pickup then tailed the Honda; the Honda’s driver said the pickup pulled alongside at one point, and its driver began swearing at him. The officer told the Honda’s driver that he would contact the pickup’s driver to get his side of the story.

The officer returned to the original scene to contact the reporting party but could not find him.
