Eye-witless accounts prove justice is blind

A concerned shopper called JCSO dispatch on July 13 to report a speeding blue pickup truck “intentionally trying to run people over” in the Bergen Park grocery store parking lot. According to the man’s statement, he was so alarmed by the pickup driver’s wanton disregard for the general health and welfare that he’d deliberately blocked the careening vehicle with his Lexus, at which the driver shot him a rude gesture and raced unsafely away to points unknown. Both the complainant and a store employee described the menacing motorist as “an elderly man” perhaps “80 years old.” When located, the driver turned out to be a somewhat more youthful person of the female persuasion, who quickly guessed that the officer was acting at the behest of “the lady in the Lexus.” She maintained she hadn’t been trying to run down anybody and, convinced that “the lady” had cut her off because “she” drove a Lexus and felt superior to the truck-driving classes, she’d responded appropriately by inserting her index finger – not middle finger – into her nose in protest, and departing quickly to avoid further confrontation. Perceiving credibility gaps on both ends and in the middle, the deputy closed the case.
