After being verbally attacked and threatened by our neighbor for 1 1/2 years, my husband and I are taking him to court. He set an air horn off in my ear twice within seconds of each other resulting in me having to go to the doctor the next day. The police officer on the scene did not arrest him. A different officer said he would have arrested him had he been the responding officer. Is this a class B misdemeanor?
