Man Threw Rocks To ‘Shut Neighbors Up’


Police responded to a call of an armed subject in the 5300 block of West 90th Street around 11:11 p.m.


When they arrived, the 20-year-old caller told police that his neighbor started yelling at him and then threw rocks over the fence, reports said.


The neighbor, identified as Larry R. Stone, 59, who lived next door, then came over to the caller’s house and threatened to “kick his ass,” police said.


The caller was concerned because Stone was “highly intoxicated” and held “something shiny in his hand,” according to the report.


This concerned him, so he called police. The caller said he was visiting his friend who lived at the house. The resident who lived next door to Stone told police that his neighbor allegedly made threats in the past about owning a gun, but did not report it to police.


Police spoke to Stone who they said was highly intoxicated. Stone said he was sleeping when he was woken up by noise outside his house, reports said.


Stone allegedly told police he went outside and started to yell at the “two idiots” in the backyard and admitted throwing rocks at them to “shut them up.”


He then walked over and yelled at the caller and his friend. Stone said he called police because the two men “said they were going to,” police said.


Stone was cited for disorderly conduct. He has a hearing date at Oak Lawn Village Hall on July 2.
