 A dispute between neighbors is a common call that police often respond to, but Pikeville police were recently shocked when they arrived to find a man had attacked his neighbor with a running weed eater. We got to the scene, we made contact with one of the individuals, and the only thing that he would say was, he hurt me, he hurt me. And when we got to looking at him, he had blood running down his arm. We made contact with the other subject who was on the hillside cutting weeds. Randall Fordeis had taken, he had gotten to an argument with his upstairs neighbor, and he took his weed eater and started the weed eater and began to attack the other subject with the weed eater. So the weed eater string caused significant injuries to the other party. He had injuries to his arm, to his side, to his back, shoulder and neck area. It actually even cut some of his hair off. When police asked Fordeis why he attacked his neighbor with the weed eater, his answers were as surprising as the crime itself. When we spoke with Mr. Fordeis, he stated that the victim in this case had stabbed his air conditioner and caused some damage to his air conditioner, which we didn't find any damage to the air conditioner. And he also stated that the victim had stolen a candy bar from him previously. There's no excuse for taking a running weed eater and assaulting someone with it. Fordeis was indicted by a Pike County grand jury on a felony assault charge. He is scheduled to appear in court August 5th.
