Man throws rock at neighbor’s parked car

The homeowner at 72 Beaconview Drive reported Tuesday evening that his neighbor threw a rock at his car, cracking a taillight.

According to police, at around 8 p.m., the homeowner witnessed his neighbor hurl a rock at his car, a BMW station wagon, which was parked on the street in front of the complainant’s house. The rock strike caused a crack and small hole in the right rear taillight. An officer tried to locate the neighbor, who did not answer the door. Later, the officer was called back to the scene after the complainant reported the neighbor had threatened him. Again, the officer could not locate the neighbor, though the man was apparently home given that after the officer left, the neighbor poked his head out a window and yelled at the homeowner, “If you call the cops again, I’m going to f---ing kill you.”
