You said the streetlight was installed on your property, but then you said the HOA paid for it because it is on common area. You want him fined by the management company but don't report it to the police. You say it is assault and you fear for your safety, but also liken it to the theft of a $10 flowerpot. You also mention two collars on the sweatshirt, so it must not be like any of my sweatshirts.
OP, your neighbor's behavior was wrong. You did not deserve that kind of treatment. That said, your post history here does seem to indicate to me that this board position may be going to your head a bit. You are considering getting involved in things that really aren't yours to worry about, and you want to preempt a smear campaign by advertising the incident to voters? Is there an election coming up any time soon, even?
You say you don't want to escalate it, but an email would do just that.
Each owner legally owns their front yard, however the CCRs state that the Board has complete control over this area.
I was wearing a zipper sweatshirt that has a collar (it looks like two because when it is zipped down it form a "V")
Latest drama is one Board who voted for the light and who for years as a homeowner also has wanted a light in that location is now saying that neighbor refuses to talk to her and she wants to maintain a friendly neighborhood.
The above is a tall order and practically impossible. You cannot please everyone! If some organizational psychologist has developed a written plan for everyone to like each other and be friendly in an organization (which an HOA is a legal corporation) he/she would be a multi-millionaire.
OP here. The neighbor is now lashing out via email to all homeowners and trying to start an email "war."
So now you take a copy if the email down to the police department and file a complaint for battery. Tell them you delayed because you were hoping he'd cool off but clearly he is escalating and now you are very concerned for your personal safety and property. You could also consider getting a TRO, which would, hopefully, keep him from approaching you while coming and going from your home, prevent harassing emails and block his attendance at HOA meetings.
Your son writing a letter to the community is a bad idea. This was a settled HOA matter and never should have resulted in him grabbing you. Despite having made some mistakes in handling this, you still remain in the right. Writing the letter would be like flushing the moral high ground you're on out from under your feet.
Do not write a letter. Either file charges or drop it and live with the results either way.
