Pipe down!
A Texas woman became enraged after hearing a man playing bagpipes at her local park — allegedly assaulting the musician's wife and threatening to sic her judge husband on the couple, according to a report.
Eunice Isgur, 76, became inconsolably irate when she heard Scotland native Scott Gibb playing the bagpipes in Houston's Terry Hershey Park on Monday, and confronted him aggressively with her cell phone, KTRK reported.

'She said I had no right to play here in this public park,' Gibb told the outlet. 'She said, 'I'm gonna call my husband. He's a federal judge and he's gonna make you stop.''
Isgur has the same last name as US District Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur of the Southern District of Texas, the outlet reported.

Gibb's wife came upon the fraught scene, spotting Isgur holding her phone inches from her husband's face, and started filming the elderly woman in return, according to KTRK.
Isgur then allegedly took a swipe at the bagpiper's wife — hitting her cell phone, the outlet reported.
Isgur's husband then showed up at the scene but was not accused of any wrongdoing.
However, the couple menacingly followed the bagpiper and his wife as they were leaving the park, video showed.

Despite the dreadful encounter, Gibb said the Scottish-isle-born instrument is typically welcomed in the Deep South.
'Texans just love the sound of the pipe,' Gibb told the outlet, stressing this was one of the few negative responses he's received.
The 76-year-old was arrested for Assault-Bodily Injury, according to the report.
