11:24 p.m. A caller said dog doo had been smeared on his vehicle and guests’ cars at his bed-and-breakfast in 11200 block of NE Wing Point Drive.
Police found dog feces tucked into the driver side door handles on the vehicles, and the man said he had been having a dispute with a neighbor.
When the neighbor was asked about it, she said dog droppings were a common problem in the neighborhood.
When police asked the woman about the dispute, she said she saw a car parked in her driveway and was concerned about safety and said it was an obstacle to emergency services. She said she did not know who put the dog droppings on the cars, but said that dog feces was common in the neighborhood.
When an officer told her it looked bad because the cars belonged to people she had a disagreement with, she said, ‘Well, it is my property.”
She also said her neighbor had ruined some of her bushes, but the neighbor said he had no clue about what she was talking about.
Police told the parties to give each other distance whenever possible and to call police if another argument seemed imminent.
