A 50-year-old Stony Point man who has a long-running feud with a neighbor  was ordered held in the county jail on charges that he damaged his neighbor's property with a pick up truck, according to Stony Point police.

David Williams of 9 Elm Ave., Tomkins Cove, is accused of third-degree criminal mischief, a felony, and second-degree harassment, as result of a 2 a.m. incident on Thursday. Police said Williams is accused of screaming "I'm going to kill you" at a neighbor at 340 N. Liberty Drive and then driving a Ford pick up onto the neighbor's property.
