Patricia Young, 65, said she was shoved on camera by George Anthony on Sunday.

"He threatened me and he had a hammer," Young said. "His eyes -- he was very upset," Young said.

Young was one of a crowd of protesters who have camped outside the Anthony home since Caylee's mother, Casey, 22 was released from jail and returned home.

Young said her rights were violated, Local 6's J.R. Stone reported.

"Mr. Anthony did not have the right to put his hands on me," Young said.

Young was in front of the Anthony home Monday, a day after the incident.

"I do believe that the family and the neighbors are feeding into it," Young said. "And that is my opinion," Young said. "I do believe they treat like she is gold."

Young said she plans to take George Anthony to court and is waiting to hear back from the state attorney's office.

The sheriff's office said they reviewed video of the incident and they said that the woman and other people were not on Anthony's property during the time of the incident and he is subject to possible criminal charges.

Motorists In Neighborhood Ticketed

A flood of motorists traveling to the home of Casey Anthony has continued to cause concerns for the sheriff's department.

People are driving by blowing their horns and causing traffic jams in the neighborhood.

Sheriff's deputies wrote 25 tickets in a 24 hour period outside of the Anthony home.

Also Monday, Casey Anthony was scheduled to meet with her case manager who will verify she is living up to her terms of home confinement.

Tourists Travel To Home

Meanwhile, Florida tourists and other families are traveling to the home of Casey Anthony for a chance to see and possibly photograph the woman and chaos in her neighborhood.

The Parry family abandoned their vacation plans over the weekend, grabbed a camera and traveled to the home of Caylee Anthony's mother and family in Orange County.

"This is our last day before we go back (to Missouri) and we just had to see it for ourselves," Florida vacationer Tony Parry said.

Another family from Christmas, Fla., with eight children was seen posing for photographs in front of the Anthony home Saturday night.

"There has to be closure somehow, this will never end," a woman said late Saturday.

When Casey Anthony's mother, Cindy, stepped outside of the house Saturday, a man yelled, "You are going to burn in hell, Cindy" and others insulted her.

Saturday night there were about 100 people standing outside the home watching her.

Fights Erupt

Over the weekend, several fights and acts of violence erupted outside the home.

Officers responded to the Anthony family's Orange County home after people began to rip signs and throw punches at each other. A man was seen being struck in the face by another man outside the Anthony home.

"You are all big and bad to kill a baby, but you can't come out and face us," a protester yelled when police arrived.

"You people hold signs that mean nothing, and you know nothing about," another person in the crowd yelled.

Several neighbors said they are fed up with the chaos the case has brought to their neighborhood.

"We have been putting up with this for six weeks," a neighbor said. "My kid can't play outside, and we can't leave the house without people trying to run us over."

Some people said they refuse to leave the Anthony house or neighborhood until Casey Anthony is returned to jail.

"We are going to be here every night until she comes out (with the truth)," protester James Harris said.
