Wednesday, Dec. 10

At 11:19 a.m., a woman reported a road rage incident that occurred in the parking lot near the L.L. Bean store. A Toyota pickup truck was backing out of a spot as she was passing. She beeped so the truck would not strike her vehicle. The truck followed her car around the parking lot until both both drivers stopped their vehicles. The truck driver exited his vehicle before banging on the back of her vehicle and screaming profanities. No damages were caused to either vehicle and the incident was resolved.

At 8:26 p.m., a paintball gun was found in the parking lot of Dick’s Sporting Goods. The customer who bought the paintball gun was upset when he tried to connect a CO2 tank to it while in the parking lot. He said there was a malfunction with the tank that caused the gun to break and shoot paint into the ground. He did not want the paintball gun anymore so he left it on the ground. He apologized for getting upset and the paintball gun was brought to the station before being destroyed.
