A fight between neighbors became physical and landed one Lawrence man in jail Wednesday night, police say.

Around 9 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 2500 block of Redbud Lane for a reported disturbance, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads.

There, one man — later identified through the Douglas County Jail booking logs as Gerald Lee Thompson — became upset with another who lived nearby, Rhoads said, and Thompson then pushed the man from his residence.

The alleged victim returned to his own home as Thompson followed, Rhoads said. Once again the two argued and the disagreement became physical.

Eventually Thompson left at the alleged victim’s request, but soon he returned with a “blunt object” and hit the man, injuring him, Rhoads said.

Officers arrived on the scene and arrested Thompson on suspicion of felony aggravated battery.

Thompson is currently being held in the Douglas County Jail without bond.
