Her neighbor does.Police say they are not her bushes to trim and on Tuesday Chris Greenfield faced a judge charged with malicious injury to property.The dispute is between two neighbors – Chris Greenfield and Eric Wurmlinger – over Wurmlinger’s 10 arborvitae. Wurmlinger says Greenfield chopped them down without his permission while he was on vacation.
