A dispute between neighbors over a parking space ended with one of them charged, Georgia deputies said.

Sylvia Allen, 62, was arrested Nov. 1 after she’s accused of threatening to “throw a bomb” into her 28-year-old neighbor’s house during the argument at the Heron at River Island Apartments in Martinez, according to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.

Someone in the leasing office provided authorities with audio of the dispute, during which Allen also threatened to shoot her neighbor in the face, deputies said in a incident report.

“I’ma glock his (expletive),” she said, according to the report.

A warrant for Allen’s arrest was issued on a charge of terroristic threats and acts, deputies said.

Authorities didn’t release additional details.

Martinez is a less than 10-mile drive northwest from Augusta.
