Westwood Police Log: Taxi Disturbance at Westwood Station, Suspicious Delivery on Spellman Rd.

August 19, 6:17 p.m. – Westwood Police received reports of a dispute between patrons of Westwood Station and a number of cab drivers parked in the area.

A taxi driver was found to be telling patrons of the Amtrak and Commuter Rail trains that they couldn't park along the outer ring of the garage area because it was reserved for taxies only.

There are, however, only two parking spaces in that outer ring designated for taxies, police said, even though there are often nearly a dozen taxies in the area. The driver who had been heckling patrons about the issue was told to stop.

August 19, 10:08 p.m. – A resident of Spellman Road in Westwood notified police that someone had left a pile of wood in his truck, which had been parked in his driveway.

According to police, the resident's son had a business-related dispute with his boss, and the boss became upset. As a result, he left a large pile of mahogany – 12 pieces worth more than $400 – in the father's pickup truck.

Police notified the son's boss and asked him to stay off the property, and to resolve any further disputes with the son, and not his father.
