Police: Indiana man attacks neighbor with weed eater in feud

Forty-eight-year-old Gail Kammerer was arrested Thursday on a preliminary charge of battery with a deadly weapon.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Southwestern Indiana police say a man allegedly attacked a neighbor with a weed eater, leaving him with cuts on his back, as the two men feuded over grass clippings left along a roadway. 

Forty-eight-year-old Gail Kammerer was arrested Thursday on a preliminary charge of battery with a deadly weapon. The Evansville man remained jailed without bond Friday ahead of a probable cause hearing. 

The Evansville Courier & Press reports that Kammerer told deputies he attacked the neighbor after that man blew grass clippings onto him while using a riding lawn mower to clear a roadway of clippings Kammerer had produced while clearing a ditch.
