Parking Problems

The victim drove away, but the suspect followed closely behind, eventually stopping his vehicle in front of the victim’s. He exited the vehicle and confronted the victim one last time before driving away. Police were later able to locate the suspect, who admitted to road rage and to calling the victim names. He was given an appearance ticket to the Town of Vestal court.
