Cuyahoga Falls Residents Turn Against Unruly Neighbors

A resident in the 1200 block of Gaylan Drive called police after waking up to screaming and slamming noises on Oct. 16 at 2:30 a.m. 

As it turns out, a neighbor down the road started play fighting with his houseguest, and things got physical. Several cruisers and an ambulance responded, according to a nearby resident who asked not to be identified.

When officers entered the home, they found shattered glass, blood splattered, the two men, a woman and a baby. The woman and baby left and police allowed the two men to stay inside the house.

Five minutes later, the yelling picked back up and police returned to the house. This time, the unruly brawlers turned silent, refused to answer the door and remained quiet for the rest of the night.

This isn’t the first time police have been called to this particular residence. It appears neighbors are sick of the man and woman who live there, want them to move out and have gone to extreme lengths to make that happen:

• A resident living on the 1200 block of Gaylan Drive reported a disturbance on Sept. 17 after someone cut out the screen to his sliding door, lit off firecrackers next to his fiancee's car and posted a sign on his front door demanding that the couple move out of the house. The man intends to press charges if the neighbors are caught, according to a Cuyahoga Falls Police report. 

• On Sept. 18, a couple living on the 1200 block of Gaylan Drive reported someone had knocked over the gas grill in their yard and taped a pornographic picture to the back door of their home with a lewd message written on it. Police are investigating.
