Calls to Volusia County Sheriff trying to stop/document ongoing harassment

My experiences since moving into 49 Brooks Dr involving the homeowner next door.
Harassment, verbal and physical, from Dec 2015-present. One focus was the near-daily
use of a radio directed at my living room about 15 feet away for more than 2 years. This page
has a few examples where I called police (ex: noise/radio early morning or excessively loud).

Home orientation:
My living room is in the front corner, 5 feet from my fence next to his rear driveway.
Hendricks will yell/talk/harass me through my windows from the fence.
If I opened my front window on that side, the harassment would be increased.
I kept that window closed for most of 2016-2018 (police then got him to reduce).
Pictures below show the area utilized by Hendricks for most harassing including radio/equipment.

In 2018, I got a security system with audio but just kept two cameras inside my living room front windows
to capture harassment (audio) so police would believe me when I reported an incident or extreme harassment.

This page only has one early example from 2016 and several 2018-2020 incidents where police were called.
Police report, if acquired, showing how they handled the issue. Few officers understood the impact the noise harassment was having.
Police were called many times 2016/2017 but did not document like after noise ordinance was enforceable.

To show my efforts requesting police for help started years ago. Hendricks would leave a leaf blower running/unattended a lot. One time (5/25/16) it was going about 20 minutes without "moving" so I went out and took a video (upside down). 10 minutes later took another video (starts with noise level from inside my living room) and called police who came out 10 minutes later, blower still running unattended. The officer had Hendricks turn it off, then Hendricks went to the police station to complain that he was just "running out the gas". The officer came back for the videos (show blower has electric cord).

Police report from 5/25/16

Noise ordinance 50-478 was being contested in court until May 2018.
The ordinance covers any production of sound/noise which is a nuisance, time not a primary factor.
It does specifically mention "for convenient hearing for the persons who are in the room, vehicle or chamber".
So if gone from the residence, leaving a radio on like this is a "public nuisance", endured since Dec 2015.
