Do you know for sure that he is using more than 5 watts?

Are you *sure* that your problem is caused by this guy?
I see 4 options:
  
1. buy a bandpass filter for his rig and tell him to use it or else. 
  
(The next two options require good records.  So start keeping a log, 
including tape recordings.)
  
2. continue to pursue the FCC sanctions.  It could result in a $10,000 fine 
for him - for every day that he has been in operation.
  
3. take him to court.  Local small claims court would be appropriate.  Sue 
for the maximum that they allow - usually about $2000.  It doesn't cost much 
to file such a suit - usually about $15.  You are usually given a chance to 
arbitrate - tell him you will settle for him buying, installing and using a 
bandpass filter and running legal power.  If he says yes, you may still need 
the court to enforce this later...  (Usually they don't show up and you win 
by default.  Use the $2000 as a down payment on a new house in another 
neighborhood...)
  
4. if you can get to his coaxial cable, stick a straight pin through it to 
short it out.  Cut off the head.  Do this several places.  Alternately, a 
pellet gun will penetrate the cable...
