My neighbor called the cops! AGAIN!

Tweet

A little back ground. I live on a dirt road with 5 other neighbors, we each are on 3 to 8 acres of land. The neighbor that lives at the end of the road and has 8 acres and has had an on going problem with the neighbor next door to me, which is also there next door neighbor. This is a Hispanic family with 2 manufactured homes on their 3 acres. I don't know how many people live over there, but I would estimate approx 10 to 12 people. They keep to themselves for the most part. Some wave when they drive by or are out in the yard and others over there don't. No one speaks very good English over there so we don't hang out. We do help each other from time to time with moving large items. The neighbor at the end has had a problem with them ever since I moved in. Mostly because of loud parties, the uncleanliness of there yard and the "stealing" of goats. Mostly the parties. Now most of these parties take place on Friday and Saturday nights, but not always. Most of the time they are over by 11, but have been known to go well after midnight. The music is very loud and sometimes it's a live Mariachi Band. Last night was one such night that it didn't take place on a Friday or a Saturday night. People started to arrive around 5 pm by 7 pm it was in full swing. Now I had my windows in the front open and was watching TV in the middle of the house, and unless I went outside or to the master bedroom. I couldn't here them. But my neighbor at the end of the road could, and called the cops around 8:10 pm. I know the time because she sent me a text, letting me know that "the ruckus" should be ending soon she had called the cops. Ummm, ok. At 9:35 I got a phone call and then several text messages. The next door neighbor had threatened to shoot her if she didn't leave there property. She had apparently given up on the cops coming and had gone over there to "ask" them to turn down the music, that they were being rude and inconsiderate. She went back home and called 911. Cops did respond, but they parked out on the street and walked in, I'm guessing because they didn't find the threat real, since this is the unknowneth time she has called the cops. Now I get that she is a nurse, and that she has a baby (now over the age of 1) and that they rent out part of there property to people passing through in RV's and some are traveling nurses. However we have to listen to the up and down the street in tow trucks throughout the day and night. I guess we have a noise ordinance on Sundays that goes into affect at 6 pm. I wouldn't think where we are that we would have a noise ordinance. She told me last night that she is probably going to have to take them to court and that she will be calling us in as witnesses. Not sure what she hopes to accomplish, I have only had an issue with noise over there once and that was on New Year's and they were shooting off guns over there. The cops no longer seem to respond to the complaints in a timely fashion. They don't drive in, they walk. The party breaks up after they have been called out. We don't live on top of each other and while you can hear the parties most of the time it isn't really a big deal to me. How do you feel when your neighbors have gatherings? Do you think she is over reacting? If you read through the whole discussion thank you. Any thoughts would be appreciated?
