Just gotta vent guys.
Got off work around 1230. Had the afternoon off. Wife took the kids to an amusement park and won't be home until late. I get home and reload some ammunition. I just received a new mold and was excited to try it out. I grab my guns and ammunition and went to the hunting club. It's only five minutes from my house. I get there and realized my chrony has a dead battery. I then went to drive home and when I entered into my neighborhood there was an oncoming car. One of my neighbors had set out is for sale sign in the road as he was mowing. I was able to slow down but I could not avoid it because of the car that was coming in the other lane. Now the roads in my neighborhood are fairly narrow and there's really just enough room my truck in the car. I got down to the end of my section & I see a dog to my left. I thought it was one of my dogs and it may have gotten out so I rode down there. Then here comes this guy pulling in front of me with his truck blocking me. I then ease up on the curb asking him what his problem was. He said I purposely ran up the curb to hit his sign. I told him it was in the road and he was Fing stupid if he didn't think it was gonna get run over. We exchange further pleasantries and he asked if I knew who he was. I told him I didn't nor did I care. He whipped around and tried to pass me on the left so I maintained right of way and proceeded forward. Dave, my neighbor on that end must have known him as this guy is yelling for him before he tried to pass me.
So I return home after this and he rides by my house like he's gonna intimidate me (did I mention this is the same A hole who followed my wife and was cursing at her saying she was speeding by his house a few moths ago? She filed a police complaint)
He says he's gonna call the cops. I tell him go ahead. I ease up his way and record a video of him on the phone calling the cops and the sign is clearly in the road still. He's yelling at the dispatcher so I drive up make a U turn and decide it's better to just wait at my house as the police will now have to come and file a report.
His stupid signs are still in the road and I wasn't gonna pass up another opportunity to run them over. (In hindsight I probably shouldn't have)
I wait about 15 minutes and decided I wasn't gonna let this ruin my day. I made sure the dogs were inside and headed back. Bought this time the police showed up at his house. He tells his side, I tell mine. Police offer says he (the neighbor) wants to file charge of me trying to run him off the road and swerving to hit him with my truck. I laughed at him and asked the police officer of there were any tire marks in his perfectly manacured grass. Of which there were not.
I told the nice police officer that if he would like to play that game, he should inform him that I would also do the same and it would hard to defend with him being the aggressor that chase me down and blocked my passage with truck and there was a witness.
The nice police officer then released me so I continued on my way to go shoot. He did tell me this guy was demanding a supervisor and for my arrest, he didn't seem overly concerned.
remember that dead chrony? Yep. Still no battery. So back I went and his supervisor is there. He flags me down. I asked him if Dave corroborated the story. He basically repeated back what I told the officer. He then asked if I purposely ran over his sign. I replied "Officer. I have loved in this neighborhood peacefully for over 8 years. You saw I had a clean record. There was an oncoming car and his sign was in the road, what would you have done?" He laughed and told me to just avoid this guy. I assured him I would and went home and got my 9V battery and had a nice evening shooting.
I asked my neighbor to look after my house. He asked if this was the same guy that chased my wife down a month or so ago. He remembered that. Yet another good witness to this guys character.....thankfully I have really good immediate neighbors and obviously this guy is moving.
I will tolerate a bunch of **** off people, but you don't threaten me and you sure as heck dont threaten my wife or family (which he tried to by intimidating my wife)
Just wanted to vent. Thanks guys.
