Parking problems: Two men in the 1100 block of Arlington Road (rear) were arguing Tuesday about whether there was room for a vehicle to get through. A man loading his truck said he thought he had parked it so the caller could get past, but they ended up arguing and claimed the caller made an obscene gesture in front of his children. The caller said the man frequently blocks the roadway with his vehicle and denied inappropriate behavior, claiming the other man’s children have made obscene gestures at him and cut in front of his car on their bikes.
