When officers arrived, the man yelled at them and gave them the middle finger, police said. He then drove away.
A half hour later, the 56-year-old returned to the station and was then charged with disorderly conduct.
At the station, he faked being hurt multiple times by officers, according to the report. He also faked falling off a seat that was about 2 feet high, police said.
The man has a history of faking injuries, including purposely running into a Darien police car, according to the report.
The man’s neighbors recently complained about him at a City Council meeting, with one calling him an “absolute menace.”
Over four days in late July, the man was charged twice with disorderly conduct after he played loud music late into the night, police said.
