⚖️  Law

I have a mixed pit bull who jumped the chain link fence into my neighbor's yard. The neighbor filed a police report, and I was fined with a misdemeanor. The dog did not cause any damage or hurt anyone. The neighbor has since installed a partial privacy fence and sent me a letter requesting reimbursement, threatening a civil litigation suit. Am I liable for the total cost of the fence, and what should I do about the certified letter requesting reimbursement? Additionally, can the neighbor claim 'fear of safety' as damages, even though there was no incident and no history of misconduct with the dog?
