What is the name of your state? Tennessee
Hi. I was wondering. I have recently acquired a new neighbor (across road from my house) that has been "harassing/stalking" me. Here's my situation.
I own 2 dogs, of which I have had since we moved here in 2003 and have never had in a fence, chained up, etc. (we only have a containment/confinement ordinance in the county, they only have to stay in our yard). Well about a month or so ago the fun begins. To make a long story short, after we ended up calling the police on them for noise disturbance (someone sitting in there driveway blaring rap music that was shaking my windows) the neighbor called Animal Services a few days later. At that time we informed the officer that came out, that the neighbors kids kept calling the dogs over there. Well a few nights ago, I came home rather late with my infant daughter, and here "excuse me excuse me..i hate to bother you this late, but is there anyway you can keep your dogs off my yard (common sense told me not to answer, considering the only time my dogs are over there is when her kids called them over there) they are tearing up my stuff...which yes there was a cushion in my yard that was shredded (a little birdie informed us afterwards she had walked over and placed in our yard, or pretty much tossed at one of our more protective dogs). Of course, knowing my rights I told her no...she then threatened with Animal aServices again which really hit a nerve, I told her to go ahead and they would tell her the same thing they did last time (was the dogs were in the yard, so they couldn't do anything). well she then informed me that she had pictures! Well I shrugged it off and came in, she then went up the road, got a camera, stood in the middle of the road and took pictures of MY dogs, standing in MY driveway.
This neighbor also tends to live her young children outside with no supervision, plays her tv rather loud (I can hear it clearly when I am on my porch) and has "friends" driving by blowing horns at all hours day and night. We are not the only neighbors that are fed up with this particular neighbor.
I have unsuccessfully located any information regarding this, but I did locate this website thankfully.
My question is this: Is there anything I can do? What steps do I need to be taking? Are there any websites that cover this?
