PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) - An Arizona homeowner is replacing his middle finger painting with a graffiti-themed mural.
Peoria homeowner Ernie Leas tells KTVK-TV (https://bit.ly/2pwrVx4 ) that he made the painting in response to a 20-year-old feud with neighbors. Leas says his neighbors have made an excessive amount of police calls about him. The painting was meant to show his displeasure for his bothersome neighbors. Neighbors say Leas has been known to keep an unused ice cream truck in front of his home and post yellow caution tape around his property.
They say they worry his actions will cause the value of their property to go down.
Leas’ new mural features the face of a Joker, which one neighbor finds frightening.
Peoria officials have said Leas is free to decorate his private property however he’d like.
