Problems with Trespassers

   / Problems with Trespassers #291  
Hello Robert and GGB, I have 80+ acres mostly field and wooded with a few acres of grapes (growers co-op). Robert I think I have gone by your place many times. Being a local here I know people who have, every year, stopped by the side of the road and picked grapes for there homemade wine or Table. While it is true that it would not be noticed much by the owner, It is just something I wouldn't do. I know you will like this story... I sit from noon until dark Deer hunting but at 4:00pm a couple of trespassers walk right up (on my property, right past my posted signs) to ask if I've seen deer. Well that's one afternoon wasted. But my response from now on will be "I'm armed and I have a backhoe" :D . My tree stand has been stolen as well as other items but the strangest was a few thousand feet of plastic tubing for tree tapping, all fittings and hangers on the maple trees, gone. Are You Kidding ME!!!! :confused2:
I'm not ranting but I am amazed at the behavior of some. And thanks to GGB for letting me know I'm not alone with these problems. When I allow anyone else on the property I state "I am talking to you and only you". :cool:

I found out on Friday that the 2 of them were served warrants for 3rd degree criminal trespass. The arraignment is set for July 8. So I guess we'll see what happens. The mom has been taking pictures of my land from the road.

That seems like a step in the right direction.

Thanks for the update. It has been vexing just to read about. Looks like the charge only has a max penalty of $250 plus court costs, but might be a legal warning shot.

Try to have the judge ask them "why they are taking pictures". If they get a lawyer and you lose the case don't fret about it. Remember Lawyers aren't cheap. First they will postpone because they are looking for a lawyer, then their Lawyer will ask for at least two postponements for time to familiarize himself with the case. They are hoping you will give up, DON'T. Also their Lawyer may ask you unnecessary questions. You Don't have to answer any of his questions! Saying you don't want to answer is fine "you are not the one on trial'. The arresting officer is there to help you and the judge may be trying to help you but they can't if you say the wrong thing.
If you get the chance Tell the court. Your client has proven to me that he is a real tough and dangerous guy. I don't want him or his friends and family on my property for any reason.
All my best and good luck.

I wish Tim luck, but do doubt these people will understand the legal ramification, jail time maybe but $250, not so much.

Tim - I know you probably know this...but keep in mind these folks may just be NUTS...They make seek revenge...I would tell your attorney or the DA about the picture taking going on and try and take pics of her doing that...I would ask for a restraining order where they have to stay off your property ....I am just saying...when darkness falls you never know what evil folks will do ...Vengeance is best served cold....They may subscribe to that...:2cents:

I wish you the best with this and hate you having to go through it...

Tim - Glad you updated. Seems you are going in the correct manner. Please don't post to much of what YOU are doing for your side of the battle here. But please continue to inform us of the progress of your case. Sounds more interesting than Zimmerman.

I'd request a restraining order as well. Please be very careful. No telling what these "folks" are capable of....
