Neighbor's unhappy with anti-alien spotlights at man's foil-wrapped house
A neighborhood in Hermitage in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, is fed up
with an elderly man on their street, so much so that they’ve taken him
to court for excessive use of spotlights.
78-year-old Arthur Brown lives in the foil-wrapped house.
Nancy Raich lives across the street.
“Over the years he’s become a real problem. He has a lot of issues fearing aliens,”
Raich said.
Raich said this behavior has been going on for more than 20 years, and
she’s had enough. She’s 72 and wants to downsize, selling her home to
buy a condo, but no one wants to buy it.
“Who wants to buy my house? A nice decent house, garages, acreage in
Hermitage, a nice place to live, when this yahoo across the street
decides he wants to shine lights on me?” Raich said.
And she’s not alone.
“He used to have an alarm that would go off on and off on and off and
that was annoying,” neighbor Donna Misinay said.
“Now his new thing is, come out here and chase you with a spotlight.”
It’s become so bad, they’ve taken it to court. And within the past few
days, the city has filed a petition for an injunction to force Mr Brown
to stop using the spotlights.
“It’s a violation of the city’s zoning ordinance to have excess lighting
that adversely affects neighboring properties,” Hermitage City Manager
Gary Hinkson said.
The neighbor's are hoping Mr Brown's lights go out soon.
