Vandalism. An Ormond Beach man called police from a local supermarket parking lot after a woman purposefully rammed her shopping cart into his car after he commented on her shoddy parking. The woman had parked her vehicle over the white line and into the spot the man's vehicle was occupying.
According to the incident report, the man told the woman, "Nice parking job," to which she replied, "Thanks, I'm in a hurry." The man told police the woman then grabbed several crumbled up pieces of paper and threw them at his car. He told police he asked her, "Why are you doing this?" and that's when the woman rammed her cart into the side of his vehicle. The man told police she caused less than $1,000 in damages before she took off.
Police made later contact with the woman, who lives in Ormond Beach as well. She denied hitting the man's car with a shopping cart, but did admit there was an altercation, the incident report states. She told police it was actually the man who threw paper on her car, and that he placed his shopping car behind hers to prevent her from leaving.
The man told police he didn't want to press charges, but that he intended to sue the woman.
