you're dead I said I said those okay so do you want do you so so do you want to sign complaints for terroristic threats that's up to you I here's the deal I cannot sign complaints for something that we didn't witness so if you want to sign complaints for the assault and you want to sign complaints for the terroristic threat you you both can I I will give you the citizen complaint packet and you both can do it yeah because I stop trespassing also I put the sign up they take it away why why is there steps here then they were put in previously by the previous owner that property ends up there so where where so this this deck this deck right here for his boat how does he get to it it's his problem I guess how is this honestly because I'm going to pull the map so before we get into all this oh this this is my property whose property is this really is is is is this the public property here to get down here where does it end not till where does it end where does it end out it goes right to here is our property so now in order for him to get has he has this gentleman down here used this before has this answer my question has this gentleman her hitting me in the face away I will get in a minute has this gentleman used these steps before to get down to this area for his boat okay so if you're allowing it and you've seen it in the past how was he supposed to know you don't want him to do it now well I put no trespassing sign there we ago then he takes it away well then you should did you call the police for that vacation I was Gess they proceeded to cut more branches over there so what I'm getting at is what I'm getting at is if he wants to get down to his boat and you've allowed him time and time again to take these steps you can all of a sudden now say you're not allowed to do these steps it does it doesn't work like that you know what I mean I understand if you're saying well then you know I want to survey for the property and everything but you can't just turn around and say that he shouldn't we can't take this kind of liability we don't then what you guys are going to have to do is you're going to have to get the survey from the town we have a survey we bought the house you're going well what I'm saying then get the survey and you're going to have to either take out the steps if you don't want them on your property and tell him to deem the steps over here 5T or whatever the case is but you can't turn around and tell him now oh now I'm mad at you know his friend so I can't do that that's that's what I'm getting at so and there's no trespassing here whether it was here or not it's not here now is what I'm saying they he trespasses every time he comes if you would like do stuff like that like cut the branches for like Jes he keeps cutting like he the what he first response when I first met him when I said James stop I love I want the tree to hang down like that you know it's like my what I look at cl's got her flag can't get that out either hold on one second so the first time was stop cutting the Bri and he does it in secrecy instead of here they they use this access here both both neighbors to get to their boats she was coming down who's a friend over here and cut the tree branches here never asked but I don't know whose property this is she's saying it's her property I don't know if this is a public access because he's allowed to come use us so she she came down here to stop her from using he'll do whatever can you can ma'am can I please talk to my officer so she came down here to cut the branches with hedge clippers over here she came down here to stop her was shaking the tree alleg we hit her in the face but she's got a video I got to look at so I got to look at the video her video that she has is not clear so I'm going to see what she has but apparently there's a property one and there was no trespass but this gentleman down here's Parkinson's disease and he uses his access to do boat here for Ms where does he live over here right here so I got to see if this is she wants to Sonic point for Assa and she wants to sign for terroristic threats so he said she's going to poison me with bleach but I mean more
