Lolly, the LW needs to report for her OWN safety
The incident needs to be reported because the crazy neighbor may strike again. She may strike someone else. If the next victim (could even be the LW) wishes to press charges, there will have been a previous record of such behavior, establishing a pattern.
I agree that the trees shouldn't be touched without permission, nor should charges be pressed. But if you witness or hear of a crime, particularly one that is likely to be repeated, you should report it.
