I have an insane neighbor; need advice

I know I've been away for a while working on some projects, but I really could use some advice with this one guys.

 

 

 

Last week my dad and I ended up breaking up a serious fight between two of our neighbors at 3 am. One of my neighbor's, Joe, was on top of the other, Kyle, beating the shit out of him and attempting to excavate Kyle's garage with his head. It was a fairly serious fight and one that we had a hard time breaking up. However we did get them separated and back to their own homes. We've tried to stay out of it other than just breaking up the fight, but unfortunately that has not happened. My aunt got involved and my family has been very close with Joe's for over 10 years.

 

Come to find out Kyle had solicited Joe's 15 year old son to go and buy drugs for him. Joe has been in a constant battle for the last 2 or 3 years to make sure that his kids stay clean. The whole family has had issues with drugs/alcohol, including Joe himself when he was a kid. Well Joe had literally just gotten his kids on the clean and straight arrow again; he didn't take this news very well.

 

Kyle was pissed when Joe's kid gave him the drugs. Apparently the drugs were bad. So Kyle decides to go and tell Joe that his kid sold him bad drugs and that he's pissed and wants his money back. Joe attempted to resolve the situation peacefully with several talks, but Kyle threw him over the edge and threatened his family again. So Joe lost it and beat the hell out of him. I can't say I would have acted any differently.

 

Joe went to the cops the night of the fight and explained the situation and asked what could the police do in this type of situation. They said that they could come in, but since Joe's kid did technically "deal" the drugs to Kyle they would be forced to go after the kid as well. Not to mention Joe and Kyle for the physical fight. Kyle didn't call the cops either, so its been at a stalemate.

 

All the neighbor's know of the situation now as well. However, I have had an aunt living with my family for the past year. She was going through a hard time and we put her up to get back on her feet again. She's not the sharpest spanner in the shed though and has take a liking to Kyle and thinks that Kyle was wronged in this situation and that he's just a nice guy. She's now moving in with him and has said that he's going to help her move in. I've told her if he walks up to the door I'm calling the cops. There's more to this, but it doesn't need to go deeper. Basically my aunt has dragged my family into it.

 

All the neighbors want this guy gone, and want him gone bad. There is strong evidence that he may be dealing drugs himself. The only problem we've had with getting the police involved is that Joe's kid is going to get caught up in it and Kyle has enough text/email messages saved to prove it.

 

Does anyone have any tips for this situation? I really appreciate it guys.

Move to somewhere nice...

Kill them all or move.

I also live in what would be considered a "nice" neighborhood.

people are shit. I just reported my neighbor for being a possible pedo. I try to avoid other poeple drama bullshit.

Just because someone tries to stay clean, doesn't mean they are immune to the consequences of their actions. Crime is crime. If someone is dealing in a neighborhood that is nice? Can't say I'd put up with that. Because if you do, it won't be a nice neighborhood for long.

I'm going to respectfully disagree.

 

Move.

It's Indianapolis...he's probably not kidding.

 

but I agree with the sentiment. GTFO that neighborhood.

PS, don't get involved in fights like that. We just had a news story about an off duty cop getting shot and killed because he tried to break up a fight between his neighbors.

It IS a nice area. Unfortunately one bad neighbor can ruin the whole area, as is the case here.

Just out of curiosity, what part of Indy is it in? I lived downtown on the Canal for a few years so I know the area.

Probabaly the safest way out would be for Joe to take his son to the cops and report Kyle. The son is a minor and if he is cooperating with police, there is a much better chance of working something out i'd imagine. That should teach the son his lesson and get that other guy in Jail. Romandad can probably comment more on the legal aspect but that would be my 2 cents.

"Your damn kid sold me oregano!"

 

 

 

First of all.... Dont get involved in a physical fight unless youre willing to lay down your life for one of the participants. Call the fcuking cops.

 

 

Second.... If it was me.... Id help the Aunt pack.

 

 

I'm with everyone else. Move.

 

Or if not, call the cops regardless of who is involved and let the chips fall where they may.

^^^ I have to agree. Auntie is gonna get your asses killed

you will end up the loser in getting in-between another family's domestic squabble. In the end, they will make up, and your family will be the odd one out with nothing but Joe and Kyle with axes to grind

A. Get the kid on the straight and narrow and get him out of there. If that calls for a trip to see the local po-po so be it.

B. Get the Aunt out of there before she gets you killed.

C. Move.

 

If someone got my kid to go be a drug mule for them you better believe they would NEVER find the body and my aforementioned kid wouldn't leave the house until he was 18 and then only to join the service.

 

Domestic violence situations are the most unpredictable and violent scenarios one can find themselves in. I read a handful of news stories every week out here in Westerrn PA. about break in that ends with the homeowner chasing the perp away and/or shooting them. The stories that suck are the guys who stick up for the lady/neighbor/stranger getting beat on and end up taking a slug to the chest.

 

The next door neighbor to my parents got caught beating on his wife earlier this summer. The cops came and escorted him out, his parents made bail and the cops made it clear to him that he wasn't welcome in the neighborhood until after the wife packed her bags and got out. My mom ended up helping the lady pack some things and 4 of my buddies were ready to come over if she wanted furniture. You better believe that when the douchebag came home I was there with my brother unloading the full armory into my parents house just to make sure he knew we meant business if he came looking for trouble. We are all counting down the days until his lease is up and the gentleman who rented him the house kicks his ass out.
