On June 13th, 2025 in Pike County, Arkansas, officers are dispatched to an isolated neighborhood in the woods for an alleged altercation involving a rifle. The caller reported that his aranged neighbor from down the road, Nathan, had entered his property with a rifle pointed at his 11 and 9-year-old children, shouting he was going to shoot them, leading to a physical fight between the caller and the man with the rifle. Police arrived shortly after at the aranged neighbor's house to find him sitting outside his home in a [music] lawn chair with no rifle in sight. So what happened between you and the >> I I told him that like I I wish they had not bulldozed the spot across the creek because they disrupted the creek. You cannot own the land on 50 yards on either side of the creek because it runs down into Lake Greon. >> So how'd they get to the point where everything got physical? >> I might have been a smartass or whatever, but you know I told him I wish they had not bulldozed. I think like about a 14 or 15 year old guy answered. I was talking [ __ ] to the guy when when I when I went there. The dad I'm assuming the dad came over and we had some words and you know like he punched me a time or two and I I didn't I didn't want to get physical because I was at their house. After like the second time he punched me I'm like hold on well maybe we don't have things right. You know I'm schizophrenic and so I was like I'm I'm I'm sorry if if uh if I got the wrong guy. >> You got an ID on you? >> I do. >> Let me let me see your ID please. So when he punched you, did you punch him back? >> No, no, no, no, no. >> You just >> I actually stood there with both my hands behind my back kind of talking to him like I don't want no trouble, but >> Okay. >> You know, um, and I never swung and I I never did anything. >> Nathan, >> so him and Dustin got into it early is what I'm understand. >> Uh, yeah, from what I'm gathering. I guess I need to run over there and go talk to Dustin, I guess. I think Dustin's got cameras to see if he really did have a rifle. >> I'm not trying to cause no problems. And that happened three or four hours ago. And I did I didn't go back over there. >> All right. Well, give us just a minute. I'll go to Dustin's with you if you want to. Yeah. I'll walk over and see. >> You don't have any weapons in the house or anything? >> No, no, no. I'm I'm not trying to cause no trouble or anything. >> Okay. All right. And this was the vehicle you was driving? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> There's no weapons in it? >> No. You can look. >> I I will here in in a minute. The next door neighbor, a witness, now approaches officers and gives them a key piece of information. >> Where at? >> Right beside me. His parents live right beside my house. I am armed, too. The altercation already happened down here earlier. >> Mhm.

So, what's Dustin saying? >> I hadn't talked to Dustin yet. >> Oh, okay. His side of the story is he went over on his property and told him that he didn't appreciate him bulldozing down around a creek down there and he said he was being a smartass and that's what he ended up getting. I mean, that's exactly his words. He was being a smartass. >> Okay. >> And uh but Dustin come out and popped him. So >> So is it that stick right there that [snorts] he had in his hand? I'm assuming. >> Yeah, that's that's the walking tank. >> That's what he had in his hand, which you know, at a distance it might, you know, everybody's heated and excited. It may look like a gun.

If it keeps poisoning that creek, I'm going to kill him. You don't need to know nothing else. I let him punch me three times because I was not going to smoke his ass in front of his kids.

What' y'all figure out? >> They're all terrified that he's going to come over there tonight and try to cause problems, get us called out, either shoot somebody or get us or shoot him or something like that. So, I'm just going to walk around walk around. Yes. So, y'all really going to leave me to talk to this guy? >> He's taking medication for bipolar. Well, he's got drinking today. You can't do that with bipolar medication. That's That's why we're where we're at. >> As officers begin looking around Nathan's house to see if he dumped a rifle somewhere in the woods, the landlord of Nathan's property and her daughter are now called out to the scene. The daughter, who lives in the area, was luckily a witness to Nathan returning to his house right after the altercation between him and Dustin. And she tells officers exactly what she saw. >> So we pulled up and so we seen him come this way. He went straight to his door. So it's either right inside his door or thrown over there like right just off to the side somewhere. >> Could you clearly tell it was a rifle or >> it's a gun? Yes. I can tell it's a gun. And then he said he come yelling at us. He said, "You need to get your effing kids inside or I'm going to kill them right now, too." >> He said, "That's a who?" >> So your kids? >> Yes, my kids. We were outside and he said, "You need to get my you need to get your kids inside or I'm going to shoot them right now." >> That's when I was on the phone with her telling her to get the kids out of here cuz I found out what was going on here. He says, "I'll take this 12 gauge and even if the cops show up, he threatened I overheard this on the phone that he was going to kill you all when you all showed up here, too." With this newfound information, officers now confront Nathan about his multiple accusations of threatening his neighbors and their children, as well as his alleged possession of a rifle. Okay, Nathan, there's been a little bit of research and listen to everybody. Uh, we found out that you've made some comments to some around here. Terroristic threatening. Would you like to tell us what that was about with the girl, the young lady? >> A girl? I'm I'm sure I popped off some some bullit. Well, we've got written statements, okay, from four people saying from four people saying they saw you with a gun. And we've also got written statements and they're swearing out that you made terroristic threateners that you were going to, you know, take care of. Is that true? >> I might I might have popped off, but I don't I don't have any. >> Okay. Well, you're going on me. Just turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> Okay. Okay.

So, it don't strange you cuz you've been very cooperative. You act stupid in my vehicle. We're going to stop and then I'm going to tie you up in the back seat, okay? With your hands and your feet together. I totally understand. >> Okay, I'm going I'm going give you plenty of respect and I'm going to put the cuffs on your hands in the front. So, hands >> What am I being charged with? >> Terroristic threatening.

I've been honest with you. I've been straight forward with you. Is it in the house? Look, we don't want some kid and you don't want a kid getting a hold of a a weapon and getting hurt. Okay, that would be a that would be terrible if a little innocent kid got a hold of a gun and and got killed or killed some innocent child. Tell us where the guns at, man. >> There's a gun in my dad's closet. There's three 12 gauges in this house. >> Is that the one you had? Which one do you have? >> I have the right to remain. >> You do? But but here's the deal, man. And I'm not forcing you to do anything other than try to do the right thing. I don't want to see some innocent little child, you know, this guy's grandkid come out here and be mowing a yard and a gun pop up and get to playing with it and shoot one another or kill somebody. Some innocent person. Okay. >> There's not any firearm of any type that is outside. >> Okay. >> Of a house anywhere. >> Okay.

But if I have to go get a search warrant, then a judge is going to be pissed off cuz I'll wake him up in the middle of the night. >> Okay. Let's say hypothetically I said, "Yeah, there's blah blah blah and it's right there. >> I will. >> Is that in my best interest? >> Your best interest is to be honest with me. Okay. >> And we'll we'll tell the prosecutor how he was straight up told us >> I've been to prison twice. I ain't been in trouble in like 12 13 years. >> Nathan, listen to me. Straightforward. Okay.

His trial is set for May 14th, 2026. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. It's a terrifying thought that in America, the most dangerous person on your street might not be a gang member. They might be your neighbor with a rifle and a reason. Out in those isolated wooded areas, people start believing the land doesn't just surround their house, but it belongs to them. Like they own the air, the trees, and anyone who steps near it. And that mindset turns a property line into a battlefield real quick. This is what hits different for cops because you can look at a person and know that they're not mentally right. The way they talk, the way they stare, and the way they justify violence, like it's common sense. You keep your tone low, you hear them out because the moment you raise your voice, you might be the reason they snap. But it could have been a nightmare scenario because he was sitting there calm in that lawn chair, but the rifle could have been 10 ft away and the switch in his brain could have been even closer. Always remember, neighbor disputes are some of the most unpredictable, personal, and deadly calls police respond to.
