    Post: Neighbor Harassment

    Posted by Michelle on 8/12/07


    I have lived in my home with my husband and children for
    the past six years. About two years ago a young couple with
    no children moved in and have constantly called the police
    over numerous matters. Not until a few days ago have any of
    them resulted in a ticket. She has called stating that our
    dogs came into her yard which is false. If they are not in
    the house they are in our back yard. They have called
    stating that our garbage cans did not have lids. One of our
    garbage cans did not have a lid because it had blown away
    in the wind one day. We got rid of the garbage can and no
    ticket was issued. They have called about excess garbage-
    this was after our daughter had a family birthday and
    friend birthday party in the same week. Our garbage went
    out the next day. The police understood and did not issue
    us a ticket. Since then she has filed a complaint with our
    local animal control office stating that our dog was
    chasing her dog. We went to court and plead not guilty.
    When this incident supposably took place my three young
    children and husband were in the backyard with another
    neighbor. The allegations were once again false. We will
    soon be going to court for our trial. About two weeks ago
    she received the letter that she would have to appear in
    court. My husband and two sons were out of town on that
    Friday, my daughter was at my moms- while I was letting the
    dogs out at 12:30 in the morning she came out and starting
    taking pictures. The dogs were in our yard. She started
    yelling and cursing at me. She said I will see you in court
    you F***ing B*** and numerous other things. I didn't
    realize you could take pictures so I called the police.
    After the officer spoke to her he suggested I sign a
    disorderly conduct report so I did so. He said she is
    obviously trying to cause problems for us to let us know if
    we need further assistance. Since then she has constatnly
    been taking pictures of me, my children and my dogs. This
    past Thursday night my husband and I got home at about
    10:30pm. I was unloading our youngest from his car seat and
    she came out and started taking pictures once again. I told
    my two older children to go inside while I held our
    youngest who was sleeping and stood outside with my husband
    and our dogs. When we took our dogs in she quit taking the
    pictures she went in the house and immediately called the
    police. She said that my husband was called her a F***ing
    B****. This was the exact thing that was put on the report
    I filed. She also claimed her friend was outside. She was
    not but we figured something was going to happen because
    she is nuts! The police came and served my husband with a
    disorderly conduct ticket. I was in tears. I explained that
    she constantly calls the police and she had been issued a
    disorderly conduct ticket just a few days ago. I told the
    officers I was outside with my husband and what she was
    claiming was false. They said they could not be the judge
    and had to issue the ticket. She admitted to taking the
    pictures. She absolutely set us up. My husband was playing
    softball against her boyfriend so she knew what time we
    would be home. She came out the minute we pulled in the
    driveway. This woman has been tormenting us for the past
    two years. She continuously makes false claims. She is now
    video taping us and taking pictures. My nine year old
    daughter is now having anxiety attacks because she thinks
    she is going to call the police and tell a lie about her
    and get her in trouble. We have tried to be nice neighbors,
    even tried to avoid them. We are seriously considering
    selling our house because I do not feel comfortable letting
    my kids play outside unless she is at work. I believe I
    have a harassment case. What do you think?
