Unfortunately I think this may have resulted in him playing victim to his crackhead friends, and him playing on their immense paranoia of the police.

One of the neighbours who he idolizes is a crackhead, and has an unshakable delusion that I am an undercover cop.

A regular person would back off, but these are the kinds of people who freak out, and might incite aggressive reactions in others.

Being told this information might incite revenge.

He is not making threats, but he appears to be where I want be; he was out last night and I had to take an alternate route. Taking alternate routes to avoid the guy has been something I had to do a couple of times this week already, and it spooks me when I see him out at night.
