A neighbor called police Nov. 17, saying the man was shining a spotlight into her windows, taking pictures of her family, watching them and yelling at them. The resident said the behavior had begun in 2010 as soon as she moved in and was only relieved when she got a personal protection order, which has since expired. A family member said the new round of incidents began after they moved their boat lift in order to comply with township ordinance.
