The man had previously filed a lawsuit against the women and lost. He has another lawsuit pending against the women because their trees are too high on their property.

Siblings argue

Police confronted two out-of-control siblings on April 4.

Police were called to a residence in the 9600 block of 177th Street about 6:40 p.m.

The 40-year-old mother complained that her 12-year-old daughter pushed her and grabbed her 10-year-old brother because she was grounded from a school function.

The daughter had climbed a tree and was hiding out there when police arrived.

When police asked her what happened, she explained that she was upset for being grounded from the school event and that she grabbed her brother in a “hug” to get him to stop harassing her.

Police advised the 12-year-old to seek assistance from a school counselor if she was having problems in school or at home.

Police also talked to the girl’s 10-year-old brother, who came home from school in a bad mood and started peeling the bark off a backyard tree.

Man shot
