Sorry, this number can’t be reached

Dec. 7 — A woman who allegedly crashed into a man’s car in a parking lot left a note with her name and phone number. The number could not be reached, and it later was determined she intentionally gave the man a number that didn’t work.

Police were dispatched at 11:30 a.m. to the 4800 block of Point Fosdick Drive Northwest when the man called to report significant damage to his car.

The note stated, “I hit your car,” and included a name and phone number.

A witness gave the man the license plate number of the hit-and-run car.

When the phone number didn’t go through, police went to the home of the registered owner of the running car. The woman admitted the number she left behind was for a phone that had been shut off, and there would be no way of contacting her, police reports show.

Officers gave the woman a court summons and encouraged her to contact the victim and pay for the damages.
