Couple say they complained to cops about 'harassing' neighbor so many times that THEY were arrested for invasion of privacyPaul Sohacki and Katherine Gannon say they were harassed by neighbor Gene Ellis for years and started recording him
When they turned videos over to the prosecutor, he decided to arrest them for invasion of privacy
Videos that Mr Sohacki posted on YouTube show numerous confrontations between Mr Ellis and Mr Sohacki and Ms Gannon on their shared property line.
In on exchange, Mr Sohacki walks up to his property line, where Mr Ellis is posting 'No Trespassing' signs.
Real imaginative Gene, putting up no trespassing signs,' Mr Sohacki jeers.
Mr Ellis responded: 'I want you off my land. Stop lying, you and your wife.
'You're always trying to follow me around on my own property. This is my property. I've already been here for 20-something years. You only been here for three and nobody likes you.'
The banter continues with Mr Ellis saying: 'Why can't you be a nice neighbor? I feel sorry for you. I really do.'
Mr Sohacki responds: 'Lies roll off your tongue like it is incredible, Gene. What a frickin' liar.'
Mr Ellis, done hanging the signs, ride off saying: 'I'm praying for you, Paul. I'm really praying for you, buddy.'
In another confrontation, Mr Ellis yells that Mr Sohacki is throwing rocks at him - all while Mr Sohacki holds a camera and is clearly not throwing rocks

.... because he is "sick of having neighbors"
If you watch one of these videos youtube will load you up with several more. There are thousands of these neighbor disputes.
At least with the condo association I have some recourse without getting the police and courts involved.

There are always neighbors. I live in a rural area of my county and I have neighbors. I get annoyed by my young cousin's loud truck but you just learn to live with it.
I suppose a small island would be sort of neighborless but then there would be only the 2 of you. Where would one go when a little cooling off in needed?

I'm still reeling from the aftershock when the big city restaurant, Applebee's opened in Oneonta and never figured why that wasn't international news.

How does a minor dispute between neighbors make national and international news?
