A Davis road-rage incident got even uglier Monday when one driver slapped the other and stole her cell phone, according to police.
The victim, a 53-year-old Woodland woman, told officers the other male driver engaged in aggressive driving, then confronted her at about 6:30 p.m. in the area of F Street and West Covell Boulevard, Lt. Mike Munoz said.
During the confrontation, the man allegedly slapped the woman, knocking her glasses off her face and causing her to drop her cell phone, which he then picked up and took with him when he drove away northbound, Munoz said. Because the phone was taken by force, the incident has been classified as a robbery.

By now you have probably heard the good news that the federal government and the California Department of Public Health have authorized the administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to ages 12 to 15. The Davis campus vaccine clinic administered its first two doses in this new age group at 8 a.m. yesterday and appointments for next week are available on the state’s My Turn website.
County schedules multiple vaccine clinics to meet demand of 12- to 15-year-olds
With demand for the COVID-19 vaccine high among Yolo County’s newly eligible 12- to 15-year-olds, the county continues to add clinics to the calendar.
Two upcoming clinics in Davis and one in West Sacramento will offer the Pfizer vaccine for everyone 12 and up.
The Davis clinics open to all Yolo County students will take place at Harper Junior High School, with a drive-thru clinic on Sunday and a walk-up clinic on Tuesday.
The Sunday clinic was scheduled “due to overwhelming demand” after the Tuesday clinic was announced, according to Davis Joint Unified School District Superintendent John Bowes.
