Before the flag was placed, the man complained to police about JeDonna having a camera pointing into his home. JeDonna said she did have cameras, but none are pointed in his home, rather the perimeter of her property, after a full gas can was found in her recycling bin.
The lawsuit accused the neighbor of engaging in a pattern of racial intimidation before and after the flag was hung at the window.
After years of litigation, both parties agreed to settle for an undisclosed amount.
