FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio - Road rage, West 217th Street: A driver reported being involved in a road rage incident Nov. 29. He told an officer that a car turned in front of him and he honked his horn. The driver got out, pounded in the window, punched the driver through the partially open window, and then spit in his face, before then leaving in his car. A description of the car and a plate was provided. Another officer found the car a few blocks away and stopped it. The driver gave a similar story but claimed he did not hit the man or his car. A small abrasion was noted on his hand by the officer. Charge may be filed.

Drug possession, Wooster Road: On Nov. 30 an officer on patrol noticed a car driving with its bright lights on. It pulled into an apartment lot, but a short time later, he saw it again, still with its bright lights on. The officer stopped the car and smelled burnt marijuana from inside. The driver said he had smoked some earlier and twice claimed there were no drugs in the car. A probable cause search was conducted and a backpack, reachable from the front seat, was found which smelled strongly of raw marijuana. Checking the backpack, a large amount of marijuana, later measured as more than one pound (486 grams), was found inside. The 20-year-old driver from Parma was arrested.
