Woman mooned in feud with neighbor

BY STAN MADDUX

Adispute between neighbors in La Porte County resulted in a mooning.

La Porte County Police on Feb. 22 were called to the 8600 block of W. 125 South by a woman complaining about her neighbor pumping water from his pond onto her property.

The next day, she looked out her sliding glass door to see him pumping water again. According to police, the man after noticing her looking at him began making “humping” gestures with his arms and hips.

He then turned, dropped his pants and bent over fully exposing his buttocks.

NEW BUFFALO TOWNSHIP, BERRIEN COUNTY, STATE OF MICHIGAN

STATE OF MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND (MNRTF) GRANT APPLICATION

On March 20, 2023 at 4:00pm, the New Buffalo Township Board will hold a public hearing at the New Buffalo Township Hall, 17425 Red Arrow Highway, New Buffalo, MI 49117 for the purpose of discussing and commenting on the submission of a MNRTF grant application. The proposed project is to develop the 2nd phase of the Marquette Greenway from the Indiana State line to the US12/ Grand Beach Road intersection. This multi-use trail will ultimately connect New Buffalo to Chicago. The grant request is for $300,000 and the remaining of the project will be funded with RAISE, a federal grant from the US Department of Transportation.

The New Buffalo Township Board will provide necessary reasonable auxiliary aids and services to individuals with disabilities at the meeting upon five-day notice to the New Buffalo Township Board by writing or calling the following New Buffalo Township Clerk, 17425 Red Arrow Highway, New Buffalo, MI 49117 or 269-469-1011.

The woman again called police, who came back out and talked to the man who defended showing his bare bottom.

According to police, he said the woman “should look away if she doesn’t want to see what he is doing on his property.”

In addition, the man said he was only returning the water he started receiving after a pole barn she had built caused her property to drain in his direction.

According to police, no arrest was made but the officer advised the woman to seek a protective order against the man if she feels she needs one.

La Porte County Prosecutor Sean Fagan said good judgement was used by the officer given the circumstances.

“Is it something worth charging? In this case, it doesn’t seem so and I think a jury or a judge would probably agree,” he said.

Fagan said an arrest for indecent exposure would have been appropriate had the mooning been out in public or if the man had been engaged in full frontal nudity.
