Woman arrested after screaming obscenities at neighbor
A 48-year-old woman was arrested Monday morning in connection with violating a no-contact order when she yelled obscenities at her neighbor who filed the order, police said.
A 35-year-old woman living in the 200 block of Custer Avenue called police at about 9:30 a.m. to report that her neighbor violated a no-contact order filed about one week ago, Dugan said. The younger woman videotaped her neighbor sticking her head out of the back door of her home while screaming at her.
The police department has received multiple calls for conflicts between the neighbors, Dugan said. The younger woman told police the older woman had been harassing her on an ongoing basis.
The woman who violated the no-contact order is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 21.
