Cop Shop: Dog poop flies, cops called when Macon neighbors clash

An ongoing feud between neighbors escalated on the afternoon of June 5 when dog poo flew. The neighbors, who live on Lake Wildwood Drive near the Zebulon Road entrance to the gated Lake Wildwood subdivision, had already attracted police attention in the days prior. When a Bibb County sheriff’s deputy got there about 4:30 p.m. on June 5, one of the clashing neighbors, a 72-year-old man, met the deputy in a driveway. The man, according to an incident report, told the cop that a fellow from next door and the fellow’s 30-year-old girlfriend had “threatened to tear him apart, and then threw dog feces at his house.” The 72-year-old man then “pointed up at the siding on his house and stated, ‘That’s where the (expletive) hit!’” the incident report said. “He then pointed to a pile of dog feces on the ground and stated, ‘You are my witness, and that’s the evidence.’” The deputy then spoke to the 30-year-old woman next door. She said that when she got home she saw the 72-year-old man walking his dog on her side of the driveway. “The dog defecated in her yard,” the report said, and the woman confronted the man. When she did, according to the report, she said the man “began cursing and calling me a ‘ho’ ... and said some things about (my) mother.” The report said the woman denied throwing dog doo at the house. She held out her hands for the deputy to inspect, saying, “I’m a lady. What do I look like?” She and the man were cited for disorderly conduct.

There was a guy with a gun lying on someone’s front lawn in south Macon about daybreak the morning of June 5. The armed man, 51, said he had been robbed a few hours earlier, about 4 a.m., by some people who live nearby, just off Houston Road below Walden Road. The neighbors, he said, “have sex parties.” The man, who gave his pistol to the cops for safekeeping when they arrived, said one of the assailants had “flipped him the bird.” When deputies went into the robbed man’s house, they found a meth pipe in the dining room and three more in the garage, an incident report noted. No charges were filed.

A 25-year-old man at Wilshire Woods Apartments on Rocky Creek Road told Bibb sheriff’s deputies that in mid-April someone messed with his Chevy pickup. The man said his girlfriend’s ex had put “several candy bars into his fuel tank,” according to an incident report. The culprit, supposedly upset about his ex-girlfriend’s new love interest, told his ex by phone that he’d stuck a Snickers bar in her new beau’s gas tank, the report said.
