Police Report

'Nice guy' runs into trouble
April 5—Around 3 p.m. a black Jeep Cherokee drove into the Z-lot and up to a patrol officer’s car. The driver said that someone had threatened his life and caused damage to his bumper.

A female asking for money had approached the driver, while he was leaving a Shell gas station on the corner of E.30th and Carnegie Avenue. After the driver gave her money, she asked for a ride to her apartment building. The driver told police that he was just being a nice guy.

When they arrived at the apartment building, the woman bought crack cocaine from a male who had approached the car.

The woman then asked the driver to come up to her apartment to have sex. The driver refused her propositions of drugs and sex.

When she exited the vehicle, the driver noticed two males near the rear of his vehicle.

After the males threatened the driver’s life, he put the car in reverse, and one of the males kicked a dent into the bumper.

The driver told the patrol officer he then drove straight to the Z-lot, where he met the officer.

The driver, a Viking Hall resident, had two days earlier reported that three males nearly robbed him, at the same Shell gas station.
