Man, 72, Arrested in Death of Neighbor

<i> Associated Press</i>

A 72-year-old man was arrested Tuesday on charges of killing a 49-year-old neighbor in a long-running dispute over whether to pave the driveway they shared, authorities said.

Suspect George Musico liked the gravel; victim Eugene Smith wanted smooth blacktop.

The driveway runs about 100 yards up to Smith’s house, then continues 300 yards up a hill to Musico’s home. Last week, Smith angered Musico by paving the section up to the house where the Smiths lived for more than 25 years.

On Sunday, the Smiths were doing yard work when Musico approached with a gun, Smith’s son told police.
