Neighborhood squabbles took a serious turn in Harris County after law enforcement was called to a reported disturbance. Constables arrested a man for allegedly harassing his neighbor, officials reported.
According to the Facebook page of Constable Mark Herman of Precinct 4, deputies arrived at the 8400 block of Cross Country on April 5 to find residents embroiled in an aggressive quarrel. The investigation indicated that an individual, Kenneth Richard, lobbed continuous derogatory names and verbal assaults at a neighbor, igniting tensions in the community.
In a move to quell the disturbance, "Kenneth Richard was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Harassment," the constable's statement detailed. The justice system swiftly responded, setting Richard's bond at a modest $100, leaving the larger questions of neighborhood civility and solidarity for another day.
Charges were filed against Richard out of County Court 13, indicating that a formal legal proceeding will follow the initial drama that unfolded on a quiet block now rattled by the specter of discord.
