JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville man was arrested on Wednesday and accused of pulling a “deadly weapon” on neighbors during a dispute involving children.
According to an arrest report, officers went to Old Kings Road after an armed assault was reported. Police said they spoke with a homeowner in the Dinsmore neighborhood who reported his children were playing in the backyard when they came inside and said a neighbor was using racial slurs against them.
The man told police that his 40-year-old neighbor told him to “tell your kids to stop hitting the football over my fence.”
Officers also spoke with two witnesses listed in the report who provided statements about what they heard and saw, police said.
Sections of the police report obtained by News4JAX are redacted, but the 40-year-old man was arrested and accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill. It was not immediately clear what the weapon was.
The man accused was booked into jail on Wednesday night and released on Friday after posting a $15,000 bond. He is due to appear in court next month.
