Susan Shea, a 58-year-old woman from Otter Creek Township, Pennsylvania, approximately 75 miles north of Pittsburgh, was charged with menacing and harassment after an incident involving threats to a neighbor. The dispute began when Shea demanded compensation for her chickens from the neighbor and subsequently threatened him and his son's family, saying she would "burn down both [their] house[s]." During this confrontation, Shea allegedly brandished a pitchfork and told her neighbor she was "the new Freddy Krueger," warning that if he took another step toward her, she would attack with the pitchfork. The resident filmed these events and contacted police, who found Shea dancing with the pitchfork outside when they arrived. It is unclear what happened to the chickens involved in the dispute.
