Dispute over dog poop lands neighbor in jail

An argument between neighbors over dog poop ended with a bat-wielding man in jail on a charge of aggravated assault on a person 65 or older. Here's what happened, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office report:

Patrick Hampson, who lives at 11808 Castine St., spotted the dog feces in his yard about 11:30 a.m. Sunday and figured the neighbor's dog was to blame. So the 68-year-old retiree went over to his neighbors' house at 11806 Castine St. to ask whether their dog was the culprit. He began arguing with Alycia Carrier, 30, while other neighbors watched. Brandon White, 28, Carrier's boyfriend, overheard the argument. He came out of the house carrying a black wooden baseball bat from his son's bedroom. Hampson says White raised the bat over his head and told him to get off of the property. Hampson says Carrier told her boyfriend to go back into the house, and he complied. Soon after, though, White came back outside holding the bat. Hampson says while White held the bat over his head, he told Hampson, "I wasn't going to hurt you before, but now, I will." FYI read.
