LYNN – A judge allowed a city woman to remain free but ordered her to stay away from her neighbor after police said the defendant shot at her neighbor with a BB gun and then flashed him and his friends during a dispute.”(The defendant) noticed that (a witness) was video recording her and she pulled her T-shirt up, showing her left breast to all the above parties,” Lynn Police Officer Max Saravia wrote in a report.Sherrie Oakes, 50, of 52 Winnepurkit Ave., was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon; and indecent exposure; at 7:21 p.m. Monday.She posted bail that evening and appeared in Lynn District Court Tuesday where a plea of not guilty was entered on her behalf.Police reported responding at 5:50 p.m. Monday to the Winnepurkit Avenue address on a report of a neighbor problem.Oakes allegedly told officers she had “big problems with her neighbors” because they didn’t keep up the property and were outside “as if they owned it.”Police said they advised Oakes to hire a lawyer to resolve what was a civil dispute, and Oakes reported that she already had.Police then met with the 911 caller, his two friends and his parents. They said they have a problem with Oakes.The alleged victims said they went outside to talk and Oakes came outside screaming, “using all type of bad language” and asking them to leave the common area, police reported.The alleged victims said they ignored Oakes, who went inside her house and then came out with a rifle. Oakes allegedly pointed the rifle at the man who later called 911 and shot next to him four times.”According to them, at the beginning they thought that the rifle was real but then they noticed that it was a BB gun,” Saravia wrote.One of the alleged victims began recording Oakes while the latter was yelling and watering the grass. This prompted Oakes to flash her neighbors, which, Saravia noted in his report, he confirmed was also captured on the video.Police arrested Oakes and retrieved two BB guns from the defendant’s kitchen.Oakes’ future son-in-law and another witness said they had been called about the dispute and “denied all the victim and witnesses’ allegations,” police said.Judge James Wexler allowed Oakes to remain free on personal recognizance but to stay away from the neighbor she allegedly threatened with the BB gun.Oakes is scheduled to return to court Sept. 15.
