They'd been embroiled in ongoing dispute

He has been charged with harassment and menacing

A 52-year-old man who allegedly fired a Civil War cannon at his neighbor's house for eight days straight during an ongoing feud was arrested yesterday.



New York's Brian J. Malta is accused of repeatedly firing the antique long tom, loaded with a powder charge and wadding, at the Prosser Hill Road, Jamestown property.



While it is not illegal to own a cannon, deputies reportedly confiscated it because it was used maliciously.



Details of the dispute have not been released.
