In 2009, Wheeler and Klyce sued to stop construction of a new home across the street, contending it would block their view. After a long battle, New Castle's historic commission granted Frank and Regina Marini permission to build a two-and-a-half story home on the lot.

Though the home is under construction, Wheeler and Klyce have ongoing litigation against the Marinis in Delaware Chancery Court, said attorney John Tracey, who is representing the Marinis.

On Tuesday, firefighters discovered a smoke bomb that had been thrown inside the Marinis' home. The state fire marshal is investigating the incident, but officials haven't linked the two events.

"Mr. Wheeler and his wife have been obviously opposing my client's plans to build a house on her property and I would just leave it at that," Tracey said Sunday. "It is a nice location and one could understand why she'd like to build a house on it."

Wheeler, who went by "Jack," had gained some notoriety for fighting the Marinis.
