The neighbourly attitude of a 64 year old woman


CLEAR LAKE, Iowa - A 64-year old Clear Lake woman has been arrested for allegedly popping the car tires of her neighbor six times during the past three months.

Georgia Norem was charged with felony criminal mischief. Her neighbor, Paul Lanning, has had to replace 14 punctured tires since February at a cost of $1,225.

Lanning said the incidents happened while he was sleeping. Police had no suspects, so last month Clear Lake police enlisted the help of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

Recording equipment was installed near Lanning's apartment. Clear Lake police chief Greg Peterson says the police were surprised at what they saw when they reviewed a recording of the latest incident.
