On Thursday, Sept 1, I heard commotion outside where Andy was installing a security light. I went to the living room window and saw Mr. Young on our property in our driveway where Andy was installing the light, it was apparent that Mr. Young was saying something and his hands were flying around in a threatening manner but I could not hear clearly. I went to the bedroom window and opened it. As I opened the window I saw Mr. Young holding a work lamp and pointing it at Andy in a threatening manner. I saw Andy step back and heard Mr. Young saying, "You're dead". I thought Mr. Young was going to strike Andy with the broken light. I quickly went to the side door and opened it so Andy could get into the house quickly. I thought Mr. Young was going to assault Andy. When I opened the door I heard Mr. Young say something to the effect that 'this is a game" and "your dead". Andy came into the house and said, "Call the police". As I went to the office I saw that Mr. Young was at the rear of the Jimmy going through the back of our car (the back of the Jimmy had been open from Andy working on the security light). I saw this as I passed by the living room window going to the office. I called to Andy who was in the kitchen that "he's going through our truck now". I phone the police and Andy and I stayed in the house until the officer's came. After the police left Andy went outside to finish installing the security light. I stayed at the window, with it opened, because I was afraid that Mr. Young would again accost Andy. I heard Mr. Young calling things out the window to Andy but I'm not sure what he was saying because Mr. Young also had music playing loud from the house. I then saw Mr. Young come out of his house and stand right at our property line hollering. Andy went inside of the garage and I saw Mr. Young bang on his garage door hollering I heard him say "I'm going to get you" and I hear him say "putting that light up is just going to piss me off more. Everything you do antagonizes me". As Andy came out of the garage Mr. Young began picking up stones from the driveway and throwing them at the light, Andy and the truck. Again I went to the side door and opened it. I heard Andy say he would have to call the police again. Mr. Young went back in his house and closed the door and shut off the lights. I heard loud music outside and went to the window. Andy was outside working and I worried because of Mr. Young's erratic behaviour towards us when we go outside over the last month. I saw Andy working and Mr. Young had pulled his car up right next to his garage door across the driveway from where Andy was working. He was playing the car radio very loud and I didn't see Andy saying anything. Andy seemed to be ignoring Mr. Young's antics. Mr. Young kept going to his car and back up on his porch several times. I saw Andy go into the garage and I saw Mr. Young pick up what looked like a crow bar or a tire iron from under his porch and pound it on his garage door. He then ran back up on his porch. Andy came back into the house and I told him what I saw. Around 2:30 I again heard noises outside and saw Mr. Young was right at our property line harassing Andy as he tried to work. I went to the side door and opened it so Mr. Young would know that there were witnesses to what he was doing. When Mr. Young noticed I was watching, he called over "Fuck you, you stupid bitch. Congratulations, you fuckin bitch you ruined everything. At that time Andy came in for lunch and before he went back out I got some earplugs and handed them to Andy so it would be easier to ignore Mr. Young's harassments. At one stage I heard a weird noise and looked out the bedroom window. Mr. Young was standing in his driveway with a bullhorn. I heard him say "Hey can you hear me now you fuckin retard". That night I left a message on Mr. Young's owner's rental property that we would like to put up a fence on the property line between the driveways that we share because of the behaviours of his tenant. the property owner of Mr. Young's rental knocked on our door. I discussed with the owner that we needed to put up a fence due to the property damage done by his tenant. The owner said he was not aware of the problems until now but there was nothing he could do as he had just renewed Mr. Young's lease. He said there was nothing he could do that basically it was our problem. Andy mentioned to me that after the owner left Mr. Young continued with his verbal harassment and that he ignored it. Later that afternoon, I went outside with Andy to measure the driveway for posts that would need to be put for the fencing. Mr. Young called out his window saying "I'll just be breaking your fuckin fence with my car door". Andy and I ignored him and went inside. I went outside with Andy later to photograph damage that was done to our Jimmy and while I was taking the pictures Mr. Young called out his window "It's too late, I've already done the damage bitch. He continued to call me a 'fuckin bitch' as I photographed the other side of the car. We ignored Mr. Young and just as we were going into our house Mr. Young came to his door and opened it and said, "I'll give you $1000 if you can get one of the kids to say that I sold them drugs. They're not going to say anything." I asked Andy not to take the dogs into our back yard anymore because I was afraid that Mr. Young would injure the dogs as he was continually saying he would kill the dogs. Andy had told me that when he took the dogs out that evening Mr. Young had been threatening to hurt the dogs again. I felt that Mr. Young's threatening behaviour had been going on too long and he was still escalating. I did not want to take the change with the dogs (they're like my kids and I didn't want them to be put at risk.). Mr. Young had several times come out his door picking up a shovel and jumping off his porch saying I'm going to kill your fuckin dogs when I had taken them to the back yard. They just ignored him, as did I but this was happening too often now. We now tie them up out front and I stand at the door and watch them as they relieve themselves and then put them right back into the house. Andy had gone out to go to work and he found that a rock had been thrown at the Jimmy windshield cracking it. Andy came in and told me and I went outside and saw it. We had heard the dogs the night before bark and the security light had come on but when we looked we did not see anyone outside and had ignored it. |
