IONIA, Mich. (WLNS) — A woman in Ionia County claims she’s been a prisoner in her own home for years because of her next-door neighbor’s backyard shooting.
Lois Laroe has lived in her Ionia home for decades, and while she says she’s reached out to Ionia Township officials multiple times, she also says nobody will do anything about it.
Whether it’s during the day or at night, Laroe says she hasn’t had a moment of peace since her next-door neighbor, Casey Wagner, moved in 3 years ago.
Laroe says her neighbor uses high-caliber guns and uses tannorite as well, which she says causes loud explosions.
“I haven’t been out in my yard to do anything,” said Laroe. “I mean, I’m a prisoner of my own home.”
Laroe says the explosions are not only destroying her quality of life, but also damaging her property.
“I’ve got a hole in the windshield of my car from March 18,” said Laroe.
She also claims she’s found evidence of retaliation, but hasn’t gotten any help from authorities.
“We found a balloon that said ‘Snitch’ on it,” said Laroe. “I’ve been down to the sheriff’s office several times. I have been everywhere asking for help.”
