Bamboo Poles and "Weird Looking" Kids Entwined
This is an excerpt from the Marblehead Police log from Tuesday through Friday morning.
- At 11:43 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to Green Street for a dispute about tree trimming.
- At 1:20 p.m. Tuesday, a Farrell Court woman complained to police her downstairs neighbor has been "menacing" to her and is constantly complaining about her walking in her apartment. The neighbor downstairs reportedly sent her a letter stating, "It's been a few months and all your noise relentlessly continues. It's not just your sharply heavy clog-clomping, but also your dully heavy barefoot-tromping that distracts and disturbs, often for long stretches at a time. Why with or without clogs do you persist in pacing and racing, striding and galloping to and fro, up and down, round and round and round indoors? It's also the rumbling and crashing of very heavy objects frequently dropped or thrown, as well as the scraping of furniture repeatedly being moved, dragged and rearranged. Why are you so oblivious of your surroundings? Why must you be so violently noisy?" The woman told police and the Housing Authority that she is careful not to disturb him and walks around in stocking feet. She knows he sleeps until 1 p.m. so she will not vacuum until after 3 p.m. Police filed a report and the Housing Authority is involved.
