Let me start this post by saying a few things! 1st we are law abiding citizens. 2nd I have always taught my children to respect Law Enforcement Officers. 3rd we are pro 2nd amendment! 4th is we have owned our property since Dec. 2000. We have 40acres & have our 3 grown children homes set up on this property. My husband & I live on the same property there is a thin wood line between us & our children. We have never dealt with anything like this.
We are being railroaded by County law enforcement & our neighbor.
A lil back story; on Nov. 25th my son-in-laws mother's Boyfriend threatened to put a gun to his head & shoot him. We dealt with that issue but we're still afraid this psycho felon may show up & follow thru with his threat. So in my & my husbands minds this is relevant for the next part of the story.
On November 28th supposedly our dogs went onto our neighbors property & were chasing their sheep. The neighbor proceeded to use an AR-15 to shoot at our dogs hitting 1 of them, BUT that is beside the point! His shots went across a public road & up towards my childrens houses. My daughter who is pregnant & her 1yr old daughter were down checking the mail as all of the shooting was going on, said that she heard shots, the dogs came running by, & as she stepped out of her car she heard the bullets came by her. Both of my sons were in my oldest son's house & they heard the shots & my daughter screaming so they came running outside & as they did something hit my son's trailer. My 20yr old son ran down to the end of the driveway where my daughter was & started attending to the dog that was shot. My oldest son sped out of the drive headed over to confront the neighbor. Now mind you My husband & myself stay next door & upon hearing all the shots I called my daughter who answered the phone screaming hysterically. In mind my the ex-boyfriend of his mother has shown up so I screamed for my husband who jumped out of bed (it was 10am on Sunday morning we were being lazy) & headed over. As he went to leave he saw my 23yr old son driving past & proceeded to follow him to the neighbors house. As they got there the neighbor had his phone in his hand & his AR-15 & was telling for them to get off his property. After a short verbal confrontation my son got back in his car, turned to leave in fear of being shot & is accused of slinging rocks on a truck causing damage. My husband racted differently! He slapped the phone that the neighbor had pointed in his face. (He know this was wrong & he admitted to his mistake) They both promptly left the neighbor & came back to our property. I had already called the law. The sheriff went to the neighbors house 1st & then came to us. A report was made by the sheriff & we insisted that something be done about him shooting towards our homes as this was the 3rd time bullets have grazed our property, the 2nd that we called the sheriff's dept. & made a report. We finally got investigators to come out on Dec. 6 & boy have they shown us how dirty law enforcement can be. They told us there was nothing we can do about him shooting towards our houses & if he had hit 1 of the homes it would be our fault because of the dogs. They also basically gave him permission to shoot us if he "fears" us in any way. They told us that the hole that is on my sons wall is not from a bullet & that basically we are screwed but I was more then welcomed to come get a copy of the report. So on the 7th I went to Geneva County to get the report. It was not ready at that point they said so I waited until the 10th & went to obtain a copy of their report. Their report is full of so much bias & lies it is disgusting. The investigator claims in his report that my husband said he had a pistol but didn't show it during the altercation with the neighbor & that is 100% a lie. We don't even own a gun of any sort, registered or unregiatered. I called County Sheriff's office, asked to speak with the sheriff, & explained why I wanted to speak with him. They told me to come on at 2pm 10/13. I was there with 2 of my adult children at 1:50. The sheriff was immediately dismissive. Asked where my husband was because he has a warrant for his arrest. I asked what the charges are & they are putting everything on my husband, yes he slapped the phone but my kid caused the damage, but every charge is against my husband. I explained that the investigation report was full of non-truths & asked why it is ok for law enforcement to tell bold face lies. I explained that 90% of the stuff they had my husband saying in that report was things I told the investigators & the other 10% was never said at all. I explained that my husband nor my sons were present when they 1st arrived yet the only names mentioned at all are my husband & oldest son. He didn't want to hear a word negative about his investigators. I proceeded to tell him that I can only assume that the neighbor & the sheriffs office have a buddy system. I explained that we are law abiding citizens & that I teach my children respect but they have given my kids a front row view of the dark side of the law. I guess this is more of a vent post. I am completely lost. I don't understand how a man can get away with shooting an AR-15 across a public road & onto another person property. How law enforcement can tell me because a dog went in his yard he now has free reign to shoot towards our homes. OHHHH! & on top of that this neighbor has now moved his sheep down to his piece of property directly beside the road & I can only assume that is too bait the dogs so he is justified when he shoots up towards our homes again. This is sickening. 1 of us or a passer-by on the road is going to have to get shot before anyone is going to do anything to this crazy man!
Thank you for your time & attention. Sorry for the long rant
