• Dispute in Regards to Chronic Dog Barking, April 28, 9:02 a.m. Pleasant Street

A reporting party with entirely too much time on her hands and a disproportionate notion of her own self importance told police her neighbor’s dog barks too much, and the barking is making her life more difficult. Police contacted the neighbor who owns the aforementioned dog, who said his dog mainly barks when the reporting party’s dog gets into his yard.

The following day, April 29, police called the reporting party back, and she said it is the neighbor or the landlord who is to blame for for her dog’s excursions into the next-door yard, as the fence is broken. Police told her such is not the case - it is up to her to make sure her dog isn’t bothering the neighbor’s dog - and a mediator could be assigned to her situation if need be.
