Cart dispute

10:25 a.m. — 1200 block of West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach

Civil complaint. Police responded to a local grocery store parking lot after a 73-year-old man scratched an Ormond Beach couple's car with his shopping cart.

Police report that the couple had backed their car into a space where the neighboring car was encroaching over the line. To fit, the couple partially parked over a marked safety zone along the island median. The husband was waiting for the neighboring car to leave so he could properly park, a police incident report states.

Then, the man, also of Ormond Beach, tried to push his shopping cart through the safety zone, pinching it between the island median curb and the rear driver's side of the Ormond couple's vehicle. He left it wedged there, the report states, even while the husband tried to get his attention for the approximate 1-inch scratch on his car. 

The wife claimed the man tried to run her over with his car, but police discovered she had stood behind his car in an attempt to stop him from leaving as they called 911. 

The couple was issued a case card with their report number.
