A Novato, California, man was arrested on suspicion of a hate crime after he allegedly fought with his neighbor over a parking space and threatened to report him to authorities for allegedly being undocumented.

Police were called to the area of Olive Avenue on Tuesday for a report of a neighbor dispute. A man said his neighbor threatened to shoot him over a disagreement over access to a parking space. He also alleged the neighbor threatened to notify the U.S. government that he was in the country illegally, which he said was a sign of a dispute.
