A driver angry over the way a woman parked in Kensington smashed his vehicle into hers — and then claimed to be an IRS agent and left a note threatening to audit her, cops said.
Gary Powers, 54, first ordered the other motorist to move her car forward so he could park at 614 Marlborough Rd. at 5:50 a.m. Tuesday, cops said.
When she refused and walked away, Powers repeatedly slammed his black Honda into the 35-year-old woman’s white Toyota, then left a note saying, “You stupid bitch. I have your license number. I work for the government/IRS. Don’t be surprised if you’re audited.”
The woman returned to her car to find the threat, along with a second note stating, “A black Honda repeatedly banged your vehicle after you left and parked in front of 630 East 24th Street.”
Cops tracked down Powers, who reportedly said he “pushed” the victim’s car forward with his. Powers was arrested and charged with criminal mischief.
It’s not immediately clear whether he ever worked for the IRS, but he is not currently listed as an employee in the local office.

Rodriguez has now been charged with tampering with a witness, criminal contempt and harassment — in addition to the original assault and weapons- possession charges.

A man tried to bribe a female assault victim into not testifying against her ex-con attacker, authorities said.
James Alexis, 27, allegedly offered to put the 29-year-old victim up in a hotel room and pay her $5,000 in order not to appear before a grand jury Monday to testify against accused assailant Darryl Campbell.
Campbell, 26, had allegedly smashed a bottle against the right side of the woman’s face during a Jan. 7 brawl inside Hype Lounge on East 14th Street in Gramercy, cops said.
Campbell was arrested Feb. 27 and charged with assault, menacing and weapons possession.
Campbell’s buddy, Alexis, allegedly arranged to meet the victim Monday at the Beth Israel Hospital emergency entrance on East 16th Street near First Avenue, court records state.
The victim notified police, and cops arrested Alexis when he arrived at the hospital, authorities said. He was charged with bribery and tampering with a witness.
