Problems with Trespassers

[PMA]

Where I live he could go to the magistrate and sign warrants for the acts and they should be locked up. But I agree, I believe there is some good old boy thing going on here. Not solving the problem properly now is what causes much larger problems later.

These people don't live on the property next to mine. They live about 8-10 mile away in another county & use this for a party place. This is on a dead end road & I am at the end. It is 7 miles to the nearest town. When you call the police it is usually at least 30 minutes before anyone shows up. They know this & try to get out before they show up. I had a situation where they stole the gate off of my other place & it took almost a month to get anything done. The county attorney send them a letter telling them to stop trespassing.

With all do respect I think that your trespassers are a lot smarter than your police.

I would get a small camcorder such as go pro or even use the recorder on your iphone/smart phone. Set up some trail cams that are well hidden so they do not steal them and get yourself some digital/video evidence. These people have broken a ton of laws i.e. assault, trespassing, malicious destruction of private property, larceny etc. It gets very difficult for one to defend one's actions when they are caught on film. After seeing such a judge should at least issue a restraining order.

That crap about them nudging your wife with a quad is BS. If someone did any of that to any of my family members they would have had a gun drawn on them. As far as I am concerned them doing that is assault with a deadly weapon.

Dang!

I'd have gone bezerkoid on them if they had approached my wife or kids or anyone else on my property. Then the cops would have a lot of paperwork to do after that.

The police say they have to catch them in the act in order to be able to arrest them. If they didn't see it happen it's my word against theirs. Ihave put up some game cameras but don't have anything on them yet.

The person that I bought rhe land from had a ladder stand still on the property & he was going to come back & get. It qas there last Sunday & on Friday afternoon I noticed it was gone. I called him & he said he had not picked it up. He also said that they had called him & cussed him out for selling out.

I would schedule a meeting with the Police Chief to discuss the events and go over all the physical acts against you and theft of property. I would also either set up video cameras or carry them with you. The key thing to do here is video them with out them knowing so they incriminate themselves.

Boy that is a tough situation. I believe I would call the District Attorney explain the two encounters, the fact that they have threatened you and your wife, have made physical contact with both of you and the police were unresponsive twice. Believe I would let him know I was in fear of my and my families life and wanted it on record as well as get his/her advice on how it should be handled. Then I would buy a 12ga shotgun just in case. I'm not the gun pulling type but you start pushing my wife around you have crossed a line.

To the OP, do you have dogs?

Since the people are unwelcome on your property and seem to think they can push you around (having done so, they have already crossed a line), I would start a home protection plan with some intelligent dogs, (trained). I would also get video up ASAP. And as others have noted, make calls to the next level of authority explaining what has happened. Perhaps send something to the authorities (certified). You need to start your defense and case, now.

But in this case, people are coming on the OP property and have by his own writing, threated him and his family.
