COOS BAY, Ore. (AP) - Coos County sheriff’s deputies arrested a man accused of threatening his neighbor with a shotgun in a dispute over roaming chickens.
The Coos Bay World reports (https://bit.ly/2pmhpUF ) the neighbor told deputies he asked 56-year-old Anthony Lewis to remove chickens that wandered onto his property.
Lewis responded by returning to the property armed with a shotgun, which he allegedly pointed at the neighbor while yelling: “I’m gonna kill you, white trash.”
The sheriff’s office said Lewis admitted going to his neighbor’s property with a loaded shotgun.

Lewis was released from jail over the weekend on the condition he not contact his neighbor. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for April 28.
