Frontino was cited for various traffic offenses.

Last Tuesday at 4:40 p.m. Distrola and Crants received a complaint of verbal harassment. A female complainant stated that a known male subject had confronted her in the Dollar General parking lot, had called her a vulgar name and stated, “You’re the [vulgar term] that ruined my brother’s life.”
