"Goodyear residents are growing concerned over 'loud explosions' coming from a community church."
"'It sounds like a concussion grenade,' said Goodyear resident Ken Rittenhouse....'It startled us quite a bit, had to peel me off the ceiling'"
Alarmed, Rittenhouse sent a drone aloft and flew it around the neighborhood to see what was happening.
"'They did this initially back in November and then again in January, and then again just the other day,' said Rittenhouse"
Turns out, they're just trying to protect their carefully manicured lawn. "'It’s a process the church across the street uses to get rid of their gopher problem,' said Jonathan Robles"
A local school is concerned about the sounds panicking on-edge students.
"City Code Enforcement has told the church to notify the city the next time...in order for the city to notify nearby neighborhoods."
