Police Blotter: 'Robin Hood' Lives Next Door
Also, youths hurl items at a Rancho Santa Margarita church.
Apparently, living next door to an archer has its sticking points, especially when arrows could slice right through your front yard and do who-knows-what kind of damage to an unsuspecting car—or worse.
A Trabuco Canyon man was concerned about his next-door neighbor who, during his regular archery practice, aims his bow and shoots arrows at a target which is located in front of the yard of his Trabuco Canyon residence. It is imperative that the archer hit his target; if he misses, arrow goes through the neighbor's yard.
The dispute between neighbors was resolved when the archer agreed to face the targets away from his neighbor's property.
The call to the Orange County Sheriff Dept., came in around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, from Sundown Drive.
