Lawn-mowing in the early hours of the morning isn't something most neighbors would appreciate, and an Oklahoma City man found that out the hard way.
Phil Ray Gage, 40, was arrested on a complaint of disturbing the peace after a neighbor called to report him for mowing his lawn at 2529 NW 33 at 4:30 a.m. Friday, Oklahoma City police said. He was released by police at the scene after he signed a citation for disturbing the peace.
According to police reports, Gage became argumentative when officers arrived and asked him to turn off his mower. Gage told police he goes to work at 6 a.m. and because of that he can mow anytime he wants.

This guy should have waited until he had a day off or did this after work when people were not sleeping. I never understand why the police have to be called on this. I think it's shameful somebody didn't have the guts to just walk out their ask the guy to stop.
Honestly, I think people need to grow up and deal learn to deal with adults like adults. Calling the police just makes the situations like this worse. You always know who calls the cops on you. Now Ray will be targeting the neighbor and looking at way get even. It all goes down hill at that point. Police and city inspectors are called on every little issue. Sometimes it gets worse were property is vandalized or people are assaulted.
I have never had much respect for people that tattle and hide behind authority figures like children hiding behind their parents. If you have a problem with someone be civil and try to settle it on your own. In most cases you make a new friend in the end.
