Neighbor is out of jail.

[Tink]

Greg called yesterday and asked me to meet him in a nearby town to pick up a small side table he'd picked up for me so he wouldn't have to keep hauling it all week.
I got home about 4 pm and found a message from the sherriffs dept saying my neighbor was being released at 3.
luckily I haven't seen a thing of him yet. Argggggggggg

What has he done? I've be quick to move

Keep the phone handy in case he does come over and cause any trouble. More than likely he has other troubles to worry about and won't worry about the fence and his property. He's probably going to have it out with his wife. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes today. Stay safe!

Be careful Tink! I hope he doesn't try to cause any trouble...

vainchick5, it's quite a lengthy list... burglary, assault, battery, DUI, meth, etc. a couple of months ago he attempted suicide while on probation, so he was ordered to take meds, quit drinking, attend AA, and counseling. He hasn't done any of those according to his soon-to-be-ex wife. He has serious addiction and anger issues. He has threatened my husband over our lot line issues, so just last week we had a legal survey done that proved him wrong and shoved the line 53 feet closer to his house than he swore it should be.

He was out mowing his lawn today. He went only as far as our newly determined boundary line. I'm thinking he doesn't want to risk going back to jail for being a pita to me. I don't really care what holds him back as long as he leaves us alone.

I got the survey papers including a detailed map today in the mail. It's interesting to study, and if he'd be civil, could be shared with the neighbor so he'd know where his lines should be as well.

Wow Tink, You and your husband are pretty brave. I don't know if I could handle living next door to a convict especially if he has threatened your husband in the past. Be careful.

He'll behave for a couple of days - like you said, he doesn't want to go right back to jail.

As soon as he gets high or drunk, you might be able to call the police (without even giving your name?) because he's probably breaking parole.

What a problem this jerk is! It's a good thing he has you for a neighbor. If he had another jerk next door, they'd both shoot each other, no doubt.

I feel sorry for his children.

Dh came home this morning. His week's going to be a bit "odd" so he can do a run that needs to deliver on Sunday. It's nice to have him home with all this craziness going on. We planted some Hostas this morning and are slowly putting in more fence posts this afternoon. The neighbor left a while ago and didn't even look at us when he came out, so I figure he's decided to ignore us, which is fine by me. LOL

So for a night or 2 I will have company overnight in case the neighbor decides to get drunk and stupid.

Judy, I feel sorry for the kids too. Fortunately he doesn't have custody of any of them.

Tink, you be careful. Is there someone you can stay with while your hubby is gone and this guy is on the loose? I don't know how you handle this. I'd have a big mean dog with me at night and sleep in another room where he did not expect me to be. I know I'm a scaredy cat, but better safe than sorry.

I hope he continues to leave you alone! He'll probably stay on a good track for maybe a few weeks, but seeing as he's already a re-offender, he's very likey to slip up again. Hopefully, it'll be by himself, and well away from you!

Be carefull and keep something handy at night when your husband leaves.
