You don' need a police report to file a warrant. I would be down there when the court house opened.

Along with legal, criminal law action, don't forget "civil action".

Local court house trip and request a restraining order that he stays off and away from your property and your person incluidng your family. Get on the record!

File a small claims action, and sue to regain the costs of your medical costs.

Every time, not once in a while, but everytime he enters your property or threatens you, call 911, and get it recorded on the record. Sometimes, consistency of behavior tends to support an alliegation of agressiveness.

Do avoid direct confrontations, retreat, and take notes, then call.

Now the last part to consider. Sometimes things escalate and it's out of your control due to the other person's behavior. Do be prepared to legally defend your self, including non lethal means such as mace. Do get smart about what constitutes your right to defend yourself. And do not rule out the possibility it may get worse, so do the homework, get the permits required, call 911 often, get on the records!

And above all, don't blame yourself for the bad behavior of others. The things you do to prepare will make you more confident, and will help you to feel better about your self.

ORRRRRR.....just call GEO and he''ll mess the guy up

I am not qualified to give legal advice, but it is my understanding that you can use deadly force to protect yourself if you feel your life is threatened. That does not mean that the same applies to protecting personal property. He has no right to be on your property, but you cannot shoot him for trespassing regardless of how much you think he deserves it. JMO

YEP!!! That's what they told us at our carry and conceal class!!! But if he is coming at you and you feared for your safety/life then it is warranted to defend yourself. You can't shoot if they are carrying an object and leaving - "leaving" being the word, now I say this but trust me I WILL PROTECT MY OWN!!!

Well,I was at the County attorneys office yesterday and they refused to file my complaint without a police report,they also told me that if this guy got the report and filed against me first they would take his charges and not accept a cross complaint.I've lived in several cities in Kentucky and never saw a place run like Pendleton county,they are still on the good ol' boy system and this guy grew up with people here,I didn't.

I would go to bass pro shop & purchase a trail camera with the infrared on it. Put it up on your property looking at where the problem is. The more proof you have the better off you will be. You can record videos on these also, not just still pictures. You can also get locks for them to lock them to the tree you hang them on.

Just my thought,

Ohh boy they don't play banjos up there and like purty mouths do they?
Sorry just having a little fun. Well if they lay the rules out then play by their rules....but document what is going on. I would have a witness with me when talking to anyone about this at the courthouse. Maybe take names as well.

I called 911 and drove home,it took 1 hour for the State Police to arrive,they came to the house and immediately started giving me hell saying I instigated the whole thing,my camcorder is destroyed so i couldn't show them the tape,because this neighbor had a cut on his head they threatened to arrest me

It appears as if the amounts a problems you are having with this nut are increasing in frequency and severity.

Considering the police and county attorneys response towards you, if it were at all possible I would consider moving at some point . Life is just two short.

Yes your are in the right, and can draw a line in the sand, but it sounds like you are in a no win situation that at best will make your life miserable, at the worst could end up with serious legal or physical consequences.

I am sorry you are having to go through this. I hope you find someone in authority that "sees" your side of the situation.

According to KRS you do not have to have a report to file a warrant. Reports go to detectives to figure out who done it. Warrants by pass the report process. What is happening is the state and counties get more money for more crime. Warrants do not figure into the national figures reports do. Therefore your county is requiring a report. It is BS and the government at it's best.

They have tried to do the samething here in Jefferson county but it has not worked out too much paper work.
