I was at the voting precinct last night and in talking to some other Madison Park residents, I found out that there have been a few other instances of an older man in an orange/copper colored suzuki car pulling up to people as they walk in the neighborhood and scaring the daylights out of them.  I myself was walking my 2 dogs down Murrayhill Dr. on an early Saturday morning when he pulled up behind me and proceeded to pull into my direction, while continuing to drive forward as if he was trying to hit me, until I was pushed onto someone's front yard.  He nearly hit me and continued to bully me, via his vehicle, off the road.  There are no sidewalks on Murrayhill and I was already over to the far right side of the road.  After running me into someone's yard, he glared at me, pointed his finger and drove off.  I was angry enough to run after him and followed him to his house.  At the time, I assumed he was older and maybe a little senile (because he was acting so strange), but after talking with some of the residents, it seems he does this often.  

 

It seems too late for me to call and report this incident to the police, but I believe something needs to be done.  Is there any way to get someone to talk to this angry man?  He lives off of Horton Court.  His house is the second house on the left.

 

About 2 weeks ago, I also saw him driving down Seneca Place (heading towards South Blvd.) to the right of the biking lane.  He was driving slowly enough that other drivers were confused as to what he was doing.  

 

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to get this man off the streets.  I'm too afraid to approach him myself, being a younger female.  I'm not sure this man is stable.

You need to report this incident to 911.  I have had complaints about a similar vehicle on the South side of Tyvola doing similar things.  I alerted the police just yesterday of the reports.   I understand it has happened to at least two other people!

CMPD made contact with this alleged today.  Driver means no harm and has some sight impairments and hearing issues.  "he drives slowly and he has a hard time judging pedestrians’ and motorists’ position in the roadway."

 

CMPD is concerned now but they are limited to what can be done at this point.  From CMPD:  Please let your neighbors know he is not looking to intentionally harm or scare anyone. 

 

That said be careful if you are out walking and pray no one is accidently harmed until this gets addressed.  Can't really post anything more specific.

 

On top of that ALWAYS BE EXTRA CAREFUL walking through the community.  You never know who is chatting on cell phone, eating a quick lunch, and not paying attention as you walk your dogs, children through the community.    I have had to yank my dogs from the shoulder of the road more than once in recent years and jump to a grassy area
