Crazy Neighbor
Hello, I moved here to Milwaukee back in December 2025. We relocated from the south side to north side April 2026 due to new landlords selling the previous property. We got a new upstairs neighbor June, we thought he was cool at first. He introduced himself and we did as well, he kept repeating himself how there’s nothing to worry about and he wouldn’t bring anyone around here. Things like that, mind you it’s just my Bf and I along with our animals. We understood he had no fridge or stove to eat, so we kindly offered to help him with food til the landlord settles his fridge and stove situation. He also reassured us he had protection, which was a glock & a bigger gun. He also stated it wasn’t under his name it was under his mom, another thing. I thought was weird he willingly showed us he had 10k in cash and stated he does his dirty work on the streets and won’t bring anyone here.. that if we need any weed ask him, we didn’t think much of it. But Continuously stated he was a good dude, we could look him on CCAP. Therefore I did, my parents live nearby as well & I was telling them about this.. they also thought it was strange.. you don’t just go around telling everyone u got money. Weeks go by we realize he’s always up at night walking around til 4-5am. Maybe by the time I clock in for work he’s still up walking around. My mom decided to Ccap him and he’s a 2 time felon for possession of fire arm and shooting someone along with possession of drugs. So she got very concerned.
I’m a northerner from Wausau, my hospitality is endless and I always learned to be kind to anyone because you never know what someone is going through. One day I was woken up by a knock on my back door, it was just the neighbor yapping about a vacation and he has “connections” to get my bf off work for a couple days. I’m like sorry, it doesn’t work like that. We work & have to figure things out ahead of time. He then stated, your man doesn’t want guns in the house but I want you to be protected & you don’t even have to tell him. I said umm.. no thanks I have my baby siblings come here very often I don’t want them around that. He kept insisting and wanted to hide it in the basement.. I was like ummm ok… I just don’t want the kids around it that’s on you. - after that he tried to hit on me and i ran back inside called my friend until my bf got home from work. I was honestly weirded out. I told him don’t ever do that shit again, otherwise I will call the cops. My bf & i were not fw the neighbor after that-
Fast forward 2 months, my bf decided to talk to him before we left town Friday and say what u did was fucked up but let’s keep it peaceful. Neighbor apologized and admitted he was in the wrong and we’d be peaceful. We come back Sunday & we’re trying to check on him see how he was doing. He was not answering we’re like okay, weird we were just cool Friday. Sunday night- My bf takes out the dogs before bed, neighbors on the upper balcony talking shit “I should smack that n- he keeps harassing me.” I guess he had a friend up there as well trying to calm him down.
Next morning Monday- we had to drop off our in laws back up north. We see police at our ring camera for the neighbor, confused I’m 30 mins into our drive. I chime in & he’s pointing at our camera saying we’re “harassing him” “he’s the victim” “we’re flashing lights on him in the middle of the night” “we’re trying to set him up” “break in his back door”. That he is the “victim” in this situation. He also stated on the camera he is a bipolar man and has medications for his mental state. I was concerned because I’m not home to defend myself, so I have my mom call the police station nearby and see if they can reach the police that came. My aunt also works at this department, she called me to reassure me there was just a welfare check called in by the neighbors nurse and to just stay away from him and if anything call the cops. I believe he didn’t know it was his own nurse and accusing us of calling on him. We are truly the victims in this because he has the weapons here, not us. God forbid his bipolar paranoia gets worse and he gets wound up.
We really don’t bother this man nor do we know him like that, we don’t want nothing to do with him, we don’t want his money, we just want to be peaceful bc this is where I lay my head at. We’re just trying to be kind. If he continues to accuse us of breaking in to his home, what if he retaliates. I just want to be assured that what’s happening me right now is crazy. I tried to tell our landlords about it and they seem to not give a damn, they also had mentioned he’s been a good tenant for a while and can’t seem to verify the employment for him. How does that not raise a red flag- all they do is tell me to tell the cops.
