May 12, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Neighbors say Charles Clements has always been proud of his lawn, but now the University Park homeowner faces murder charges after a neighbor's dog urinated on it. Clements, 69, a former marine who resides in University Park, is being held on a $3 million bond. He has been accused of fatally shooting his neighbor, 23-year-old Joshua Funches.
Funches' puppy urinated on Clements' lawn. Mrs. Funches says Clements followed her son on his way home, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at him.
"The man raised up his hand and said 'I got a gun I'm going to shoot you,'" said Funches. "My son said, 'Mister, you should not pull out a gun unless you mean to use it,' and he shot him."
Clements' neighbors say that his lawn is his passion, and that he has won several south suburban beautification awards for its upkeep.
What a nut!!! I'm 23 and if I was out on tha block trying to get my stroll on with a pup- and he's gotta go- HE'S GOTTA GO. I watch people let their dogs take a dump on my building's sidewalk and all you don't see me pulling out my 9. And thats a real picture of Clements' lawn, pretty weak if you ask me.
