Disagreements over the property line, whether a tree should come down, runoff that damages the rose garden, loud noises and late-night get-togethers are only some of the issues on an endless list of neighborly complaints. Some problems between neighbors become so intense that physical altercations are not a surprising result.

Although neighborly fights are not entirely rare, they can lead to charges such as assault. When someone reports a fight, police will quickly respond. For two Miami residents, that little visit led to some serious charges after police found marijuana and other drugs in the home along with 10 grenades.

The call was reported shortly before 5:30 in the early evening on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012. The caller said that at least two individuals in a neighborhood along Southwest 37th Avenue were involved in a physical altercation.

Police arrived on the scene to separate those involved in the fight. It is unclear at this point what police used as their basis for entering one of the homes, but at some point they conducted a search of a residence belonging to a man and a woman.

In the search, the police found marijuana, cocaine and at least 10 grenades. The man and the woman were arrested and charged on the drug and weapon charges. Law enforcement officials say federal charges could also result.

Not every search of a home is conducted on appropriate grounds or a legal basis. Evidence found in an illegal search can be excluded in a court of law. Evidence that is inadmissible cannot be used as a basis for conviction.
