Kicking a door will get you no where, but possibly with a disorderly conduct charge, as one Summerville man found out last week.

According to reports from the Summerville Police Department, Officers met with John Smith at his Spearmint Trail residence, who stated that two other men, Paul and Daniel Laney had kicked his homes door. Smith told Officers that the Laneys had came from their home across the street cursing at him and attempting to get him to come outside. When he would not, someone outside kicked the door. Smith could not tell who it was that kicked the door, either Daniel or Paul.

Officers went to the Laneys address, where they first spoke with Daniel Laney. Daniel stated that Smith had contacted him and told him to come over, however when he arrived Smith would not come to the door, so he had left. Paul Laney told Officers that he had went over to Smiths house as well, but only to keep Daniel from fighting John Smith. Officers asked to see the phone log where Smith had called Daniel, but the phone was unable to be located.

Officers then advised both parties to stay away from each other and then issued Daniel Laney a copy charge of Disorderly Conduct under city code 38-54.
