A Park Avenue resident said she went to her estranged husband’s home on Whitesville Road to collect some money Thursday morning and he started chasing her with a tire jack.

She ran to her car and locked herself inside, but he allegedly struck the top of her vehicle and windshield several times with the jack, almost completely breaking out the windshield.

Warrants were issued charging the 36-year-old man with criminal damage to property and simple assault.

Cell phone sparks fight

A man was arrested after police said he and the mother of his child got into a fight over a cell phone in the 800 block of Borton Street.

Police said the two had argued over something the man found on her phone while she was asleep. The man threw the phone to the ground, breaking it, and held the woman down on the bed.

The woman hit him on the face and bit him on the chest, prompting the man to bite her on the forehead. The woman got away and ran out of the residence.

Officers charged the man with battery and criminal trespass.

Man found nude in truck

A man was found nude in another man’s truck in the driveway of a vacant residence in the 100 block of Rome Avenue.

Police received a call about a suspicious vehicle about 10:30 p.m. Thursday. An officer approached the truck and found two men inside - a passenger intoxicated and completely nude, and the driver clothed.

The driver said he was giving the passenger a ride home because he was intoxicated.

After being told to put on pants, the passenger got up and urinated in the roadway in front of the officer’s vehicle.

A small amount of marijuana was found in a cigarette box in his pocket.
