think ill get in trouble for this?? please read
Ok so i live in a rural area and i have about 2 acres of land right next door to this creepy old man that rents out a building/barn. He "supposedly" does small engine repair but never heard a motor or anything, i wouldnt be surprised if he had bodies buried over there, seriously. Anyways there is this other man that is friends with him and earlier today i was here at home and heard somebody yell "Hey" a couple of times and i look out and see this big black guy coming out of my pumphouse where the spigot is-in the backyard. Not 5 yards away is this creepy ass old man standing there too on MY property mind you.
(Last year sometime i got home from work and my water hose was out in the middle of the backyard and that month we had a $50 bill where its usually around $15. Another incident i caught the old creepy man coming out of my shed but never confronted him but theyve been on my land before.)
Back to the story. All i can think about is these 2 SOB's in my yard while im not home. My wife is a nurse and sleeps during the day, they could be peeping in the windows, you never know and i have a 3 yr old. Well i grabbed my pistol and put it in my pocket, it was sticking out the top a little bit (9mm) . I walked about 10 ft over my line and confronted them as they were getting in the car. I told them to stay the f**k off of my property and the big black guy got out and was saying "you know me, you know me, i cut the field behind your house" I told him yeah and i paid you for that but you dont pay my water bill. I told him if he'd just come to the front door and asked i would have gladly filled whatever up for him but he wanted to come steal it. My wife was watching out the window the entire time so i do have a witness. Well he says "lets see what the cops think about it" , i said go right ahead. he then said "i bet theyll sure like the part where you pointed the gun in my face and said you were going to kill me" I never pointed a gun and never said id kill anybody, it stayed in my pocket. Cops came, guns drawn, it sucked, lol. After they knew they were safe they were really cool and said if someone was in their yard theyd have seen the barrel of a gun too.
Sorry this is so long but basically they said we can do 1 of 2 things, drop it altogether or sign a warrant for him trespassing and he sign a warrant for displaying a gun or something like that. He says , ill sign it i aint scared to go to jail. So we both sign warrants and i go in monday to see the magistrate. I took pics to prove that i have KEEP OUT on a sign FACING the creepy guys place too. And its prob.a good 30 yards into my property to the water spigot.
Cops say i would have been fine had i not stepped off of my property but neither of them own that property either. Said might get probation, might get dropped altogether. What do you guys think? ive never been in trouble except for speeding tickets, im just defending my family and property.
