Sean Avery, the former NHL star and now actor, is once again at the center of a dramatic incident, this time involving a neighbor who allegedly fired shots outside his Los Angeles home. Avery's story, which he shared on Instagram, paints a picture of a neighbor gone rogue, attempting to frame him with a pair of hookers. This incident, while concerning, is not without precedent. Avery has a history of run-ins with neighbors, including a previous incident where he clashed with a group of people, including teenagers, over parking. The hockey player-turned-actor has a reputation for being a 'crazy neighbor' himself, as evidenced by his heated confrontation with the group of teenagers. The incident at his Hollywood Hills home on Tuesday morning began with a contractor working on a new deck. Avery's neighbor, who was inside the house, opened fire at the contractor's vehicle tires, creating a tense standoff. As the situation escalated, the neighbor called two hookers and attempted to frame Avery, sending them to the house as a smokescreen. Avery, who was away filming an upcoming project, expressed his frustration on Instagram, referencing the LA mayoral race and the Stanley Cup Final. The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the 911 call, but no report was taken initially. However, officers were called back later in the day after receiving a call about shots being fired. Avery and his wife, model Hilary Rhoda, were not home during the incident, and it remains unclear if their 5-year-old son, Nash, was present. The neighbor was eventually arrested, and the investigation is ongoing. This incident highlights the complex dynamics that can arise between neighbors, especially in densely populated areas like Hollywood Hills. It also raises questions about the effectiveness of law enforcement responses to such incidents. Avery's history of run-ins with neighbors suggests that this may not be an isolated incident, and it underscores the importance of addressing neighborhood disputes before they escalate into more serious conflicts. As for Avery's personal life, his time in the NHL was marked by a reputation for being an 'agitator' on the ice, leading the league in penalty minutes twice during his 12 seasons in the league. His transition to acting may be a welcome change of pace, but it seems that his reputation as a 'crazy neighbor' will continue to precede him.
