What is the name of your state? AZ.. Problem with neighbor for the past 5 yrs. Began years ago when this neighbor accused me of putting rocks in her mailbox. She also went through notifying the post office of this and I received notification from them that this is illegal/tampering with mail, and I could be arrested/fined. I talked to her nicely explaining my innocence, however she stated she and our neighbors saw "me and my 3yr old daughter putting the rocks in her mailbox". Neighbor shortly later found out it was not me, but another neighbor of ours. Over the years, this neighbor has spied on my home/yard, activities, and has reported every single thing that goes on at my property to an estranged family member (my mother), to cause more problems within my family/relationship with my mother. Whatever this neighbor says to my mother and or neighbors have been lies, and this is done intentionally, as to defame/slander my self. Recently, a friend was coming over, and had an altercation with another vehicle which ended in front of my home. My friend got out of the car and his dog jumped out as well, and this other driver, started driving erratically in circles and attempted to run my friend over, as well as the dog. I watched this happen. My friend then pulled a knife out of his car, to try to defend himself, of which would have done nothing against a vehicle coming at him, but he feared for HIS life. Now this problem neighbor of mine, came out after the other driver left. She started yelling to our neighbors to see/hear what happend. Cops arrived, and no arrests were made. Now today, another neighbor came to talk to me to find out what happend, as he was at work that day, but heard from this "problem neighbor" of the incident. According to this neighbor tonight, the problem neighbor has told the entire cul-d sac where I live that my friend came flying out of my house with a knife, going berserk at this other driver. This is not what happend, and also, the police report states my friend did not approach or walk toward the other driver with the knife. This problem neighbor is maliciously trying to ruin my and my friends characters/reputations, within my residence area. Her accusations and willful misrepresentations have severely (over the years) affected me, as well as my reputation and relationship with my mother. Her verbal slandering of me, as well as my friend, have caused calumnies and ill-will hatred between her and I , as well as my reputation with the other neighbors. What appears now, is she is saying I was an accomplice to offering the knife to my friend (which I did not- it was in his car), and when I spoke with the police officer the day of the incident, the officer stated I was not an innocent party (due to the problem neighbors statement--of which was malicious and solely to mar my reputation in the community, once again). I am an innocent party, I did not offer a weapon, nor did I partake of the incident. I only told the officer what I saw at my driveway and in the cul d sac in front of my home. I cant take this distress and accusations/humilitation anymore from this neighbor. Do I have a case for slander/defamation of character or harrassment ? I have done nothing to this neighbor. I rarely talk to my neighbors, nor do they talk to me, because of her. I am also scared to death to go outside, for the fear that she will start harassing me, starring at me (ie: I go outside to work in the yard, she and the other neighbors stare until I go inside) , a feeling as if I am being stalked. (She and my enstranged mother are good friends, my mother moved out of my home due to an arrest for assault on me, and this problem neighbor seems to be harboring a severe and malicious grudge against me for that). I want to request the police come back, and standby as I make a report against her, with her present, regarding all the problems I have had with her. I would also like to request reports from all other neighbors, as to what she has told them regarding this latest incident, as proof of her slanderous and malicious willful misconduct towards me. Any other suggestions? (cant move, own home with my estranged mother, and she will not sign off on the title to the home) Thanks ....
