Nantucket man walked into neighbor's yard and cut down 50-year-old trees to improve his ocean view, suit says

A woman on the vacation island of Nantucket is suing her neighbor after he allegedly walked onto her property and cut down several of her trees for a better view of the ocean — and the increased property value that comes with it. The lawsuit accuses Jonathan Jacoby of using a chainsaw to fell 16 of Patricia Belford's nearly 50-year-old cedar, cherry, and Leyland cypress trees. Three weeks after he allegedly cut down the trees, Jacoby listed his home for sale for nearly $10 million, according to the Boston Globe. Listed among the home's features: its "sweeping view of the Atlantic Ocean," according to the complaint. Belford points out in her lawsuit that the ocean vistas were "conspicuously missing from the property's prior listings." When asked why he destroyed Belford's trees, Jacoby provided a terse response. "I wasn't trespassing, I was clearing out her crappy trees," he told the Boston Globe in a single-line email. The Independent has requested comment from Jacoby's attorney, James Merberg. Many of the "crappy trees" that Jacoby allegedly toppled were more than 30 feet tall. They also provided Belford with "a natural buffer and privacy screen between the Belford home and neighbor's parcels,' the complaint says. Belford filed her suit in the Superior Court in Nantucket. She is alleging negligence, property damage, personal injury, and trespassing. The available court documents have not revealed how much she is asking for in damages. According to the lawsuit, the property damage caused at the house is estimated at more than $486,000. To purchase and transport one 30-foot-tall Leyland cypress — not including planting the tree — it would cost around $22,114, the Boston Globe determined. 'The trees at issue were planted by the Belford family in the 1970s and maintained for nearly five decades,' the lawsuit says. 'Their removal was not only a violation of the Plaintiff's property rights, but also caused lasting damage to the character, value, and privacy of the property.' Belford has also reported the incident to the police. According to the lawsuit, there is "an active and ongoing criminal proceeding" in the Nantucket Police Department related to Jacoby's alleged lumberjack activities. Jacoby's former landscaper, Krasimir Kirilov, reportedly gave a voluntary statement to the Nantucket police concerning the investigation, according to the lawsuit. He told police he knew nothing about the tree cutting. "I was surprised to find that out," the landscaper reportedly said.

Milwaukee man pleads guilty to carrying concealed pistol near Republican National Convention

A Milwaukee man has pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed pistol outside the Republican National Convention's security perimeter last year. Federal agents stopped Donnell Tinsley as he was walking near the convention's security zone on the gathering's first day in July 2024, according to a criminal complaint. Tinsley was wearing black pants and a ski mask and was carrying what the complaint described as a black tactical backpack. Agents found an AK-47-style pistol in the backpack. The arrest came just two days after Thomas Matthew Crooks tried to assassinate Donald Trump during a campaign appearance in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was a presidential candidate at the time and went on to capture the White House in the November elections. Online court records show Tinsley, now 22, pleaded guilty July 3 to a misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed weapon. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Marisabel Cabrera, a former Democratic state representative, sentenced him to 26 days time served. Tinsley's attorney, public defender Elizabeth Ellsworth-Kasch, declined comment when reached by phone Monday.

Armie Hammer's ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers targeted in attempted break-in at her home in LA

Armie Hammer 's ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers had a scare at her home in Los Angeles early Monday morning. Chambers caught someone on her surveillance trying to enter her residence while she was away, according to TMZ. The TV personality called police immediately to report the attempted break-in. The outlet reported that the suspect had already left by the time the police arrived. No one was hurt and there was no sign of forced entry at Elizabeth's property, according to their sources. Chambers recently moved back to the states in September 2024 with her kids - after living in the Cayman Islands since early 2020. Chambers shares two children — daughter Harper, nine, and son Ford, seven — with 38-year-old Hammer, who she split from in July 2020 after 10 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in 2023 and they agreed to shared custody of Harper and Ford. Chambers is the CEO of BIRD Bakery, which launched in 2012 with locations in Texas and Colorado, and she hosted a new TV series called Toxic about toxic and traumatic relationships for Investigation Discovery. During an appearance at Modern Day Wife's SO LET'S SHOP event in SLS Beverly Hills in November 2024, she spoke exclusively to about her new outlook. When asked how she 'defines' herself nearly four years after Hammer's public downfall cast an unwanted shadow over her personal and professional life, the TV personality cited her 'integrity' as well as her strength as a mother, friend and businesswoman. 'I think that what defines me as a woman is what kind of mother I am, what kind of boss that I am, what kind of friend that I am,' Chambers began. 'So yeah, integrity is everything right? We have one chance to do it right. As a mother, as a friend, as a leader. 'And that is the most important thing,' she concluded. She spoke about living in Grand Cayman, where she waited out her 'wild divorce' as well as a the global COVID-19 pandemic, in a candid Instagram post shared in late September. 'Almost five years ago, the kids and I left for what we thought would be a three day boat trip in St. Barts. While we were on the boat, COVID escalated and we traveled to Grand Cayman for early spring break and to be with family for what we expected to be a couple weeks at most,' she wrote to her Instagram followers. 'A full global pandemic and a wild divorce later, our time in Cayman came to an end and we returned to Los Angeles.' She included footage of herself, daughter Harper and movers from Roadway Moving transporting their belongings from a local storage unit to their new Los Angeles abode. Her ex-husband paid a visit to the new house as she and the kids were moving in on September 11, as per photos obtained by When Chambers first announced the move in August, she thanked her new boyfriend Ricardas Kazinec, a wellness therapist she's been dating since September 2022, for helping her make the transition from Grand Cayman to Los Angeles. Her ex-husband Hammer moved back to LA over the summer — nearly four years after his once promising career in Hollywood came to an abrupt end following his sexual abuse controversy and accusations that he was a 'cannibal.' In February 2021, Armie's ex-girlfriend, Effie Angelova, 26, accused him of 'violently' raping and abusing her in 2017. Several other women — including model Paige Lorenze — also came forward to accuse the actor of abuse, sexual coercion and suggested he had a disturbing cannibalism 'kink.' Hammer denied the accusations of rape through his attorney and said all of his sexual encounters were 'completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance and mutually participatory'. Last year, the Los Angeles County District Attorney announced that Hammer would not face any charges in the sexual assault case due to 'insufficient evidence.' Weeks after moving back to LA in August 2024, the actor sounded optimistic as he told his Instagram followers that he was ready for 'a new car, in a new apartment, in a new life.' Giving rare insight into his finances post-scandal, he admitted that he could no longer afford to put gas in the truck that he's owned since 2017. 'Since being back in L.A., I have put about $400 or $500 worth of gas in it and I can't afford it. I can't afford the gas anymore,' he confessed. Because of this, Hammer had to sell the truck and he now drives a 'tiny' hybrid car. More recently, Hammer launched his very own podcast — The Armie HammerTime Podcas t — where he has candidly addressed his various controversies. The very first episode was filmed inside of Hammer's modest Los Angeles apartment and featured fellow actor Tom Arnold as a guest. Last year, he used his platform to joke about being called a 'cannibal rapist' while seated beside his elderly mother Dru, who came to her son's defense by reminding audiences that he was 'completely exonerated' of any crimes. While he's no longer an A-list leading man, Hammer did recently reveal that he is starring in a Western film called Frontier Crucible, which began shooting in November 2024, according to Deadline. It marks his first acting project since he was ousted from Hollywood.
