Neighbor from hell? Cheryl Pifer didn't like the 11-year-old boy playing the clarinet too loudly, so she came out and allegedly threatened him with a rifle

A woman from Colorado pointed a rifle at a an 11-year-old boy after becoming irritated at his clarinet playing.

Cheryl Ann Pifer, 60, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon at her Grand Junction home and charged with menacing, child abuse, and prohibited use of a weapon.

The young boy was practicing the clarinet in a neighboring backyard when the woman allegedly pointed a rifle at the child and yelled, 'Fire in the hole!,' police allege

The boy told police that he was doing his homework and playing the clarinet outside when Pifer came outside an screamed at him to 'get your ass back inside.'

He told Pifer that 'it was his homework and he couldn't go inside because the baby was sleeping.'

According to the arrest affidavit in addition to pointing the 7mm Mauser at the young boy she has apparently also pointed the weapon at other children in the past.

Police have filed multiple felony menacing and child abuse counts against her.

Target: The 11-year-old boy was apparently one of a number of kids who also had the gun aimed at them

The boy told deputies that Pifer 'yelled 'Fire in the hole' while aiming the gun at him and the other children from her front door.

When police searched for the gun, they found it just inside Pifer's front door.

'The gun was unloaded but had two rounds in the magazine,' according to the affidavit.

County Sheriff's Office deputies reported that Pifer appeared drunk and referred to the young clarinetist as a 'nuisance'.

She also appeared to incriminate herself. When questioned by police she said, 'Oh, you're here to arrest me.' When the deputy asked why she would say that, Pifer replied, 'Well, because I pointed a gun case at that little neighbor boy.'
