“A man is hitting (with a stick) and kicking a car parked in front of the Icehouse Condos”. Two questions:

1- DFO, do you park your car on Mullan? and
2- Stickman, anybody in the cooler been by for a stick today?

you know, the one about the uncooperative roommate scared me until I read the address. We have a friend who has a real piece of work moving out any day now…

I was the one who called yesterday about the man kicking the daylights out of a white sub-compact. He then ran into a house across the street and came out with a big stick and starting beating the hood and windshield. It was on 11th Street in CDA, right past Mullan, in front of the Ice House Condos.
I was walking home from work. Dispatch asked me the make and model of the car. I told her I wasn’t getting close enough to a maniac beating a car to death with a stick to find out.
