He became emotional when explaining to state prosecutors he had previously dealt with residents and police stopping and questioning him while delivering newspapers.
"He just talked down to me, like I was just lost. Like I didn’t know where I belonged. He accused me of being a porch pirate," said Altheimer., claiming Altheimer was threatening to kill him. The call was played in court during a testimony, in which Troyer was heard saying, "In my driveway and my neighbor's driveway and he knows who I am and he tried to kill me and I’ve got him blocked in.
