Житель Лейсбурга арестован за драку с соседом из-за экскрементов собаки

LEESBURG, Fla. – A Lake County man is accused of getting into a fight with a neighbor over dog feces. Trey Decloedt was arrested over the weekend in Leesburg by Lake County Sheriff’s deputies. Deputies say Decloedt believed that his neighbor wasn’t cleaning up after his dogs. “I’ve complained about the dogs sh***ing in my yard. I said something to his old lady about it. She said she would pick it up. Four hours later, it was still there. I set it on the edge of the driveway right there,” Decloedt told officers in bodycam footage. The neighbor tells a different story. He says Decloedt opened the door to his home, shouted at him while holding the feces in his hand, then threw it — hitting him. That led to a physical fight as the victim tried to get Decloedt off his property. According to an arrest affidavit, Decloedt struck the victim in the head, then Decloedt grabbed a scooter and lifted it over his head and threatened the victim. Deputies say Decloedt claimed that he and the neighbor had an understanding that they could enter each other’s homes without knocking, and that when he went to talk to the neighbor about the issue, it was the neighbor who shoved Decloedt first, leading to the physical fight. “I mean, he scratched my neck all up when he grabbed me. There’s two sides to this story,” Decloedt said on the bodycam, growing agitated with the responding officers. Deputies say they spoke to the victim about the defendant’s claim that they had an agreement to allow them to walk into each other’s homes. The victim produced a recording he sent to Decloedt in which the victim reportedly told Decloedt that he was no longer welcome in his home. Decloedt faces charges of burglary with battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and simple battery.
