Aggravated menacing, Engle Road

: The city prosecutor is investigating a road rage incident to determine if there will be any charges.

A motorist contacted police at 3:32 p.m. Sept. 23 after he said another driver pointed a handgun at him after stopping next to him at a traffic light. He said the man asked him if he knew how to drive. The man told the other, "F..., yea." That is when the other man reportedly pulled a gun and aimed it at him. He said the man then put the gun on his car's dashboard and pulled into a nearby parking lot. The officer noted the complainant continually used a derogatory word to describe the Hispanic-looking man.

The officer found the other motorist parked in the lot. That man said the two men got into an argument while driving on Bagley Road. He said the other man called him a derogatory name several times and told him to stop his car so he could beat his "a**." He said he then drew his handgun and placed it on the dashboard, but did not point it at him or threatened him. The man had a valid concealed carry weapon license.

Fraud, Bagley Road

: A resident succumbed to a money scam that supposedly came from an overseas soldier.

The man told police he received an email from a "sergeant" last month who wrote he was stationed in Afghanistan. The "soldier" wrote he did not have the means to place his combat pay into a bank account and asked the resident for him to deposit the money.

The victim agreed and gave him his bank account number. A $25,000 deposit was made into the account by unknown means. The victim then received another email asking to withdraw $20,000 and deposit it into another bank account that the suspect said he secured. The resident did that on Sept. 5. He then received a counter check of about $21,700. The resident's bank, however, contacted him saying the original $25,000 check was fraudulent. His bank account now showed a $24,900 negative balance. The man took all the emails and paperwork to police Sept. 18.
