Artist Steve Rude was arrested earlier this week over a dispute about his neighbor's dogs barking. According to his wife, Jaynelle, he is out on bail, and they are selling discounted art to raise money for legal expenses.

"Steve has had a back and forth with the neighbors for quite some time now that started over their barking dogs," says a post on Rude's website titled "Help Bail the Dude Out." "Last night Steve got hauled in."

The Nexus co-creator was being held on charges of assault and failure to comply with a court order, according to details from the Maricopa County (Arizona) Sheriff's Office.

Jaynelle wrote on Steve's Facebook page that he was out on bail, but that they're still in need of financial assistance: "Now we have to pay for the legal counsel so he doesn't end up back doing hard time for trying to keep his sanity. All he wants is to be left alone to create his art, not harassed by people who call the police on our kids because a frisbee ended up in their yard."

You can find Rude's art auctions on his website and on eBay.
