Falls Man With Grudge Shot Fireworks At Neighbor: Police

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — A Falls Township man was arrested last week after police say he shot fireworks at the vehicle and home of a neighbor against whom he held a grudge.

Neal Sanderson, 55, and his son, Kevin, 27, were shooting off fireworks between 8-10 p.m. Thursday near a home on Kennedy Drive in Fairless Hills.

According to police, "some of the fireworks were intentionally set off next to the victim's vehicle and residence, causing damage to both." The victim, a 52-year-old woman, was home at the time, police said.

Police say Neal Sanderson told the victim that he had dreamed of blowing up her home for "sending him to prison for a previous incident." They say Neal Sanderson set off the fireworks that hit her home and vehicle.

Officers were called and both men were arrested. During the arrest, police also found a glass pipe in the men's home.

Both men face charges including recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief, retaliation against a witness or victim, disorderly conduct, harassment and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Bail was set at $50,000 for Neal Sanderson and $15,000 for Kevin Sanderson, according to police.
