A Tiburon motorist is in jail after he tried to run down a pedestrian wearing a plaid jacket, police said.
It all began when 31-year-old Eugene Anderson apparently left his home in a huff Monday evening after a domestic dispute, jumped in his car and sped onto Tiburon Boulevard, said Tiburon police Sgt. Steve Hahn.
While on his way to buy a pack of cigarettes, Anderson spotted an unidentified man walking on the sidewalk and allegedly tried to run him down, Hahn said.
"He made statements to the effect of: He didn't like the plaid jacket the man was wearing," said Hahn.
The pedestrian avoided injury by jumping out of the way.
Hahn said the plaid jacket did not have a particularly loud pattern.
"I guess he was just really angry with whomever he saw."
Anderson was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and remained in the Marin County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
