The lady knocked on the backdoor and the neighbor answered. She went off on the guy and told him to pick up his dog's poop. He told her to get the "blank" off my property and then pushed her down the steps. Luckily, she wasn't seriously hurt. The victim called the police. The officers showed up and arrested the suspect. I'm guessing from now on he'll be picking up after his dog.
