Karma: A flagger for Valley Tree Service said a petite female at the wheel of a candy apple red Cadillac CTS almost ran her down, then cussed her out for trying to get her to stop, Wednesday. The flagger said she was not injured, but said she and the driver exchanged words “as the female cussed at her for attempting to stop her vehicle.” The driver had to turn her car around due to a downed tree in the roadway, and was last seen driving on Wilson Avenue toward Lincoln Avenue. Police are looking for her.

Phone fight: A Smithfield woman told deputies her boyfriend broke her cell phone, then refused to let her use his to reactivate an old one unless she performed a sexual act, Wednesday.
