^{Actual mugshot of neighbor taken less than 24 hours ago.}

This was my whole day yesterday. This situation has been going on for 2 years now. For those who follow me, you may have caught on to the fact that my 3 year old son has autism. Loud noises scare him very easily. In many cases, you can find him covering his ears when he sees something that looks like it could be loud.

We've requested for our neighbor - who seemed genuine and nice at first - to please keep the noise down during certain hours of the day because his music has caused him to panic and in a few cases even cause him to cross over into meltdown territory.

As time passed, however - only a few months, in fact - his noise seemed to occur ONLY at those times. Things eventually progressed to where his behavior became very bizarre, such blowing drops of rain off the top of his car with his leafblower, as well as blow air at leaves still attached to the tree in his front yard...all while it was actively raining!! And of course it was all during the hours we asked for silence. He then began playing a radio in his back yard, and then immediately turn one on in his front yard - different stations - then leave the house!! His house is located literally about 10-12 feet from ours.

We've even taken him to court where he was found guilty of peace disturbance and fined $250 by the judge after the prosecutor only recommended $100 fine. The judge didn't buy a single word of the man's defense, so he stuck it to him.

It wasn't long after that we started realizing it was coming in waves, and that he was staying up for hours and hours on end when it happened. We had our suspicions that he was on drugs, but then we finally had a cop come to the house - one of the MANY cops we've had to bring out - who was able to look at him and say,

"You're high on meth, aren't you? I'm former EMT, buddy. You can't lie to me. I can plainly see that you are high on meth right now."

Suddenly it all made sense.
Now, the cop didn't do anything to him then because, technically, it's not illegal to be high, it's illegal to possess the substances. So he told him, "If I have to come back out here for this kind of thing, I'm going to have a warrant with me and we'll be tearing apart your house."
That was about 7 or 8 months ago.

We've been trying to get that cop back out here ever since.

Every time, it's always new cops. We've had repeat visits from 2 of the many we've had out here, so we have to start all over and get them caught up with what's going on, and it always ends up with, "We'll go talk to him" followed by "Okay, we talked to him. He's agreed to keep it down and stay over there and you guys need to agree to stay over here."

There have been yelling matches galore. We're getting to the point where we're starting to think he'll try hurting someone.

Check out this video of what happened yesterday. We had the cops out to visit us 3 times JUST YESTERDAY. This is what happened after the first 2 visits.

Backstory on the filing cabinet:

That filing cabinet was originally his. He had it lying in our yard for days near the bush line so I told him to move it and he said "it's got a 'free' sign on it, so whoever wants it". So I grabbed it and put it next to my trash bin to throw it away so I could get it off my property if he won't do it. That was at about 10:30 am. The video of him doing the mad meth dash towards it was around 7 to 7:30pm. Apparently he had second thoughts about giving it up? That's why you can hear @jazzyfish tell him to get it off our property since he moved it that far.

The mugshot at the top of this whole thing is actually because he earned himself a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) on his own last night - we didn't have anything to do with that. Apparently the city police don't care about arresting you until you actually become a physical danger. So, driving while drunk is bad, but terrorizing a 3-yr old autistic boy every day in his own home is apparently totally cool.
