Incidentally

A news report ends: “The suspect ... was taken into custody without incident.” Evidently, a tire coming off the suspect’s vehicle and rolling into someone’s front yard is not an incident: that’s what stopped the suspect’s attempt to avoid capture. Also not an incident: that attempt, even though it went on for roughly an hour as authorities fruitlessly deployed spike strips and cut off all ways in and out of the El Monte, Calif., mobile home park where the suspect was driving in circles. It’s not clear what crime the suspect was wanted for. (AC/KABC Los Angeles) ...Maybe he was involved in an incident.
