A Langley man was charged with assault after allegedly ramming his car into a neighbors’ car and threatening to kill them.

Christian Devon Irmer, who was charged this week in Island County Superior Court, apparently was involved in ongoing dispute about property lines with his neighbors, according to the police report.

Irmer’s neighbor, who was driving and had a passenger in his vehicle, told police he spotted Irmer’s car driving toward him on Cedar Circle and pulled into the oncoming lane of traffic to get him to stop.

The neighbor told police he wanted to talk to Irmer about the property dispute, according to the report.

Both cars stopped, but then Irmer restarted his car and crashed into the front driver’s side of the neighbor’s vehicle, the police report said.

When the neighbor backed up and tried to get away, Irmer followed him, allegedly yelled “that he was going to kill them,” and rammed into them again on the driver’s side rear bumper, the police report said.

The driver and witnesses who were interviewed told police the second crash caused the car to spin 180 degrees.

After interviewing all parties and a couple of witnesses, police concluded in their report that Irmer was the “primary aggressor,” going after his neighbors and threatening to kill them.

“Mr. Irmer knowingly drove his vehicle at (his neighbor’s) vehicle, ramming it not once but twice at two separate locations,” the police report said.

The charges carry a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in jail and/or a $20,000 fine.
