Pipe down!
A woman in Texas lost her temper after encountering a man playing bagpipes in a local park, reportedly attacking the musician’s wife and threatening to involve her judge husband in the matter, as detailed in a report.
The incident involved 76-year-old Eunice Isgur, who became uncontrollably furious upon hearing Scotland native Scott Gibb play the bagpipes in Houston’s Terry Hershey Park on a Monday, confronting him aggressively with her phone, as reported by KTRK.
“She said I had no right to play here in this public park,” Gibb recounted to the outlet. “She said, ‘I’m gonna call my husband. He’s a federal judge and he’s gonna make you stop.’”
Isgur has the same last name as US District Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur of the Southern District of Texas, the outlet reported.
Gibb’s wife came upon the fraught scene, spotting Isgur holding her phone inches from her husband’s face, and started filming the elderly woman in return, according to KTRK.
Isgur then allegedly took a swipe at the bagpiper’s wife — hitting her cell phone, the outlet reported.
Isgur’s husband then showed up at the scene but was not accused of any wrongdoing.
However, the couple menacingly followed the bagpiper and his wife as they were leaving the park, video showed.
“As [my wife] was walking, she was videoing behind her and this big guy and the woman were chasing after her,” Gibb said.
During the confrontation, Isgur suffered a black eye after she tripped while attempting to grab Gibb’s backpack, the report stated.
Despite the dreadful encounter, Gibb said the Scottish-isle-born instrument is typically welcomed in the Deep South.
“Texans just love the sound of the pipe,” Gibb told the outlet, stressing this was one of the few negative responses he’s received.
The 76-year-old was arrested for Assault-Bodily Injury, according to the report.
