Mysterious bullet

Tow the line
9:37 p.m. — First block of Grove Street.
Information. A repo agent said she had a repossession order for a vehicle that was parked outside a residence. She said the owner asked to get a few items out of the vehicle while it was being hooked up, but locked himself in and would not exit.
The agent said he owed $180 and was five days late.
The owner said the agent never showed him a repossession order, and he wasn’t going to pay a $500 repossession fee when he only owes $180.
After speaking with her supervisor, the agent unhooked the vehicle and left without incident.
