Web Form: Today around 5:15 - 5:20 pm I had an unfortunate altercation with a City of Bloominton employee. He appeared to be 5’8” to 5’10” with short black hair, a blue city shirt and dark shorts. He was stopped at the garage near Scotty’s at Walnut and 7th street and had several garbage cans in the back of a City of Bloomington pick up truck as well as another worker who sitting in the bed of the truck with the trash cans. My wife needing to use the ATM stopped the car in the entrance and got out. This employee told her she couldn’t do this, so she said “ok” and got back into the car. At this point, still needing to use the ATM I hopped out to use the ATM myself while my wife circled the block. The city employee at that point moved toward me aggressively asking me several times if I “wanted a ticket”. My wife did not move the car yet because the employee moved in front of our car so rapidly and aggressively that she thought he was going to punch me. I explained that she was going to circle while I used the ATM, and he glared at me and walked away haughtily. I asked him for his name several times and he ignored me. This is unacceptable behavior from anyone, let alone a city employee. I felt threatened by this individual and do not think he should be working for the city I pay taxes to.
