A Verde Foothills resident could face a citation for disorderly conduct unless he removes a large wind chime from his property, according to a report from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

The man does not want to remove the wind chime that he said was purchased from a renowned artist. An MCSO report describes the wind chime as between eight and 15-feet high with more than 40 chime tubes.

Deputies have been working with the owner and some of his neighbors since mid-summer trying to mediate a solution.

The owner told deputies he has added tips to the chimes in an attempt to muffle the sound, but deputies are still receiving complaints, the latest Wednesday, Nov. 4. The residence is in the 14000 block of Morning Vista Lane.
