MAPLE HEIGHTS, Ohio -- An Ohio boy's summer vacation was anything but exciting after someone called police on the 12-year-old.



Reginald Fields started a business cutting grass for his neighbors, but his service - at one customer's house - resulted in a call to the police.



Fields said everything was going fine until one of his customer's neighbors called the police, claiming that the teen had cut his grass.



"They said I was cutting their grass. I didn't know it," Fields said.



The neighbor told authorities that the teen had cut a portion of their property and was in their yard.



Fields said after the incident he became discouraged, but a customer decided to post about the incident on Facebook.



The post received thousands of views and hundreds of shares.



Now, Fields is receiving a lot of support for his business.



"Just give me a call. I will be there. On time," Fields said.
