Neighbor dispute
A woman claims her neighbor almost ran her over on the 1200 block of Benson Road South Oct. 23.
The woman was walking to the bus stop in the afternoon to meet her son, when the brown Honda forced her to jump from the roadway to avoid being hit.
She didn’t know whether it was intentional.
The neighbors had been in an ongoing dispute since February, when one of them didn’t give the other a ride to a doctor appointment.
Paralyzed cat
Police were asked to pickup a stray cat, which had a seizure in the roadway in front of 655 Jefferson Ave. N.E. Oct. 16.
The cat, likely feral because of its clipped ear, was medium size with black hair. It had lost use of its back legs and could only move a short distance from the officer.
The cat was transported to the Cedar River Animal Hospital, where it was examined and euthanized “to relieve its pain and suffering.”
