MARBLEMOUNT — A disagreement between neighbors over a parked car has landed a 53-year-old Marblemount man in jail for investigation of first-degree assault Tuesday night.

Skagit County Sheriff’s Sgt. Don McDermott said the incident was described this way:

A man apparently did not like where his neighbors parked their 1987 Honda Accord. The man then rammed the Honda repeatedly with his Ford F250 — while two people sat inside.

When the two occupants, a 35-year-old Daycreek woman and a 20-year-old Marblemount man, got out of the vehicle, they approached the man, who then started swinging at them with a hatchet from the driver seat of his truck, McDermott said.

The man then reportedly got out of the car, dropped the hatchet and punched the woman in the head, cutting her forehead above the right eye. She was not transported to a hospital, McDermott said.
