On 11/04/2025 at 1408 hours, I Lt. Newkirk, Officer Baker, and Officer Swinehart responded non- emergency to [700 BLOCK] Pathway Circle reference harassment and threats call.

Upon my arrival, I met with the complainant [WITNESS #1]. [WITNESS #1] stated that his neighbor that lives at [700 BLOCK] Pathway Circle has been harassing his family and friends when they visit him. He stated that on Saturday 11/01/2025 they were having a party and friends and family where outside drinking and the neighbor come over and started causing a disturbance then.

He then stated that the neighbor come out yelling and fussing with him. [WITNESS #1] stated that [WITNESS #2] advised he could see the man had a gun but never seen him point it or pull it. He then advised that [WITNESS #2] told him this and he watched the ring camera footage and could not see the gun from the camera.

I then spoke to [WITNESS #2] via phone and he stated that he was leaving the house and the male come out into the cul de sac and started yelling and fussing at him. [WITNESS #2] told him he was just visiting and the male told him if he does not live here to get the fu*k out of the neighborhood.
