She told deputies when she found him on the porch she startled him and the pills spilled.

Cut off: An Island Creek Township resident who has had an ongoing dispute with a neighbor over their shared property line said he's been cutting out her bushes, June 21.

He said he was going to keep digging to remove the roots he thinks are damaging his property, and deputies told him to make sure he stays on his own property when he does it.
