Wild Drivers & Angry Neighbors: Mayfield Heights Police Blotter

The following information was provided by the Mayfield Heights Police Department.

Incidents reported May 25-28:

Needs a break from newborn baby: Newborns can make any parent restless, and a man who took a nap on Maplewood Road was no exception.
A concerned resident called Mayfield Heights Police just after 11 p.m. on May 25 to report that a dark van had been parked on Maplewood for hours and it was clearly occupied. A man who owned the van had been passed out in the van for several hours.

He told the responding officer that he recently had a baby and had not been feeling well. He left soon after that conversation.
Drivers strike fire hydrant: A woman from Orange Village who was driving through Mayfield at 8 a.m. on May 26 called police regarding a car in front him that was driving in the grass near the intersection of Lander and Cedar Roads. The driver hit a fire hydrant, then cut back on the road in front of the caller.
The caller was startled by this and drove over a portion of the hydrant and got a flat tire. The car that initially struck the hydrant was found at Lander and Parkland, but was soon let go. The fire department was notified about the hydrant, which police moved back to the grassy area.
Arguing over ice cream: Police responded to a heated verbal altercation at 8:30 p.m. May 28 outside Dairy Queen at 5713 Mayfield Road.
The two men were arguing because one accused the other of cutting in front of him while the two were in line. The man who allegedly cut line left by the time police arrived.
Balcony door mystery: Two residents of The Marsol called police to complain about each other, with one alleging that her neighbor shattered her glass balcony door.
First, a fifth-floor resident called at 10:43 on May 28 stating that her upstairs neighbor was yelling at her about noise she had been making. She said the neighbor took things a step further by hurling an object from outside with enough force to break her sliding balcony door.
The sixth-floor neighbors denied that claim, but called police just a few moments later to complain that the woman from the fifth floor was now outside the apartment door, banging and claiming that the residents would face legal action if they didn't open the door.
The second caller insisted she didn't break the balcony door and had no clue why she was being accused. The knocking eventually stopped.
