A 51-year-old Carson City man who made it abundantly clear he doesn't like police patrol cars parked near his home, was arrested Sunday and faces gross misdemeanor charges including assault on an officer and a blatant misuse of dialing 911.

According to the arrest report a Carson City Sheriff's Office deputy responded at around 7 p.m. to the 1400 block of Stanford Drive on a larceny report. As the officer left his patrol car to retrieve a statement form, he heard someone nearby shout the following: "Get this this f****** piece of s***, f******* cop car the f*** off my property."
