Dealing with an aggressive, cussing neighbor is extremely frustrating, especially when you prefer to handle things independently and keep to yourself.
Under Michigan law, you do not have to just put up with it. You can take concrete steps to make her stop:
• Document everything: Start keeping a written log of every incident, including exact dates, times, what she says, and if there are any witnesses. This is vital if you need to involve the authorities.
• Involve local police: Call the non-emergency dispatch line for the Delta County Sheriff's Department (the county covering Nahma Township) to report her for disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct. Let them know she is verbally harassing you on your property.
• File for a PPO: Because she does not live with you, you can file for a Nondomestic Stalking/Harassment Personal Protection Order (PPO) at the Delta County Circuit Court clerk's office. This legally prohibits her from contacting or harassing you.
• Peace Bond: If she threatens violence or causes property damage, Michigan law allows you to file a complaint for a Peace Bond in district court, which legally binds her to keep the peace. [1, 6]
