Scotch Plains Police Capt. Brian Donnelly said officers were called to the varsity baseball field at the high school Saturday afternoon to find that the incident was sparked when a batter smacked a foul ball onto a nearby property on Dutch Lane. The victim retrieved the baseball, but moments later 44-year-old Michael Bennett allegedly burst out of his home, ran over to the player, “grabbed him by the neck and wrist,” then “grabbed the ball and told him to get off his property,” Donnelly said.
Bennett subsequently was arrested, charged and later released on his own recognizance, police said. And you thought you could remove anyone you didn't want visiting from your own property. The answer apparently is, no.
