Daniel said he has called Bay County deputies and animal control out to his house on several occasions to report problems with Lawrence’s dog. Needless to say, when Daniel’s chickens wandered onto Lawrence’s property Tuesday, they were not wellreceived.
"I was going to get those chickens," Daniel said. "I took my cane and started over there to catch them, but they ran from me, which is natural."
Unable to catch the chickens, Daniel, a disabled veteran, admits that he lost his temper and told his son to bring him his gun.
"We used to call it ‘going south’ in ’Nam," Daniel said. "She (Lawrence) said, ‘Get your chickens off of my property or kill them.’ These people have aggravated me and aggravated me. I had to put a stop to it.
"I thought well I can shoot my neighbors or I can shoot my chickens, but if I shoot my neighbors, I won’t have any dinner," he added.
