same time, and even build the same shed. He started to complain that his neighbors were
being too loud to the police. He called so many times that eventually the police stopped
coming. The police didnt realize who he was because of the name change.
He even started drilling holes in the walls and banging pipes at 3 AM because he said
they were keeping him up all night. Finally, he pulled a gun on them when they had a
friend over one night. So they decided to move away to a different part of town. When
they moved, he found them and told them they cant run from him.

really was. They arrested him after they found a guns and homemade bullets in his house.
