So, I don't know what he's even talking about. >> Okay. Well, there's fence in his backyard that's down. If the dogs are able to get out of them, >> the dogs run in the front yard. They run all over the neighborhood. >> That's how the dogs are able to get out, too, though. If they get in the back, >> not when they're in the front yard and he's got the front door open. >> Well, then get video proof. >> I got video of them attacking me on my front yard. >> I got you. And of course, if you're recording this, that's fine. I'm recording as well. Okay. >> Yeah. But, you know, so what do I do when I'm attacked the next time? Do I say, "Hey, Jeeoff, you know, >> you have a right to defend yourself on your property." Okay. >> What does that entail? You can't own a gun. >> Are you a felon? Yes. So, do I chop them up with a knife? >> If you have an axe, if you have a big stick, anything. >> Police respond to a dispute between two brothers after one man reports that his brother's dogs repeatedly run onto his property and behave aggressively. Although the man provides video footage of the incidents and expresses genuine concerns for his safety, the deputy concludes that there is no evidence of a criminal offense. Calm but persistent, the man repeatedly asks the deputy to address the loose dogs and explain the owner's legal responsibility. However, the deputy declines to take enforcement action, maintaining that the matter is primarily a civil dispute involving property boundaries and animal ownership. Ultimately, finding no basis for criminal charges, the deputy issues only a warning and leaves the scene without filing a report or making any arrests. >> I just called about the dogs today attacking me when I let this happen. >> But, but you know that there's a big civil thing with y'all's property, all that. Okay. >> Yes. But the dogs were on my front porch trying to attack me. That's that's all my complaint is here. >> Of course. And that's why Mr. Terry is here. Okay. >> Okay. Yes, sir. >> And got >> as I'm explaining, y'all are grown men. >> Y'all, he Mr. Terry is well aware of how this property is. He's well aware of how it's supposed to be. Who's uh whose property is whose within this property? >> Yes, sir. >> Y'all are grown men. Okay. >> Yes, sir. >> So, I can't communicate with him to even tell him to keep his dogs out of my yard. I have to and I and I I mean I'm not I'm just saying I have to go through uh somebody else that has a official capacity >> because y'all have placed yourself in this position. I'm not your therapist, but y'all got to come to some type of agreement civily. Y'all going to go to y'all going to have to go to court on this to figure out the property however y'all are doing that. >> Oh, we have >> Well, it doesn't seem to be working because he can't fix certain things that need to be fixed because it's on your side and that that's the biggest issue. So, if there's fence that needs to be fixed, if you would allow him to fix it that he wants to. I have no knowledge of what you're talking about. It we don't communicate zero. So I don't know what he's even talking about. >> Okay. Well, there's fence in his backyard that's down that the dogs are able to get out of. >> The dogs run in the front yard. They run all over the neighborhood. >> That's how the dogs are able to get out, though. If they get in the back, >> when they're in the front yard, he's got the front door open. >> Well, then get video proof. >> I got video attacking me on my front yard. >> And of course, if you're recording this, that's fine. I'm recording as well. Okay. >> Yes. But I, you know, so what do I do when I'm attacked the next time? Do I say, "Hey, Jeff, you know, >> you have a right to defend yourself on your property." Okay. >> What does that entail? I can't own a gun. >> Are you a felon? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, do I chop them up with a knife? >> If you have an axe, if you have a big stick, anything, you can't go out of your door intentionally to attack an animal. If you step out onto you, >> I understand. I I understand. I can't do anything to the animal. And I wouldn't. >> That's not what I said, sir. So, since we're both recording this, I want this for your purposes and my purposes. So, when this does go to court, my words are quoted correctly. Okay. >> Yes, sir. Once you cross that threshold and you have exited your house >> and if the dogs come at you in an aggressive manner, you have a right to defend yourself. Okay. >> Yes, sir. >> I don't carry weapons. >> However you want to defend yourself as a grown man is how you want to >> get bit. I I I defend myself how I'm trained. >> Well, when I get bit when I get bit or my dog gets bit, then then we just say, "Okay, argue too much." >> We keep bringing up hypothetical situations. That's all we're doing right now is bringing up all we're playing is the what if. >> I know. My thing is I'm I got a recording of dogs attacking me on my porch today. >> Attacking you, sir. >> Like full-fledged attacking you. >> They were coming at me. They did not bite me. >> They were barking. >> Okay. So, they were barking on the video. >> Okay. So, he's he's already addressed that. We're not going to we're not going to acknowledge him. He's already addressed that. >> Yes, sir. >> I'm here for him. >> That's all I'm here for today. I'm not going to talk about >> what he's got or what he's got going on. >> You need him for anything? >> No. I'll go over here and get his driver's license and I'll finish up with him. >> All I did was call these dogs. I understand. It's your property. But the way that y'all's property is is you've got your house, his house, you have property back there. There's pieces in between y'all that he says he can't go on because it's yours. Whatever the the physical matter is, that's between y'all. And y'all need to get that figured out because if he is able to get that fixed, fence, which he's supposed to, he's being cited for it or whatever Mr. Terry is doing. >> Defend myself, you know, >> of course. So, and to to a degree sometimes, let people think about let them think what they want to think about you. Okay? >> You can't change anybody. Only people can choose to want to change for themselves. So, it doesn't matter what people say about you. If you spread rumors, just let it be, okay? That you shouldn't be fighting that. Just let people think. >> We all deal with it. Um, it is what it is, okay? Just choose to be a bigger man and choose to be quiet in situations that you don't have to fight in. >> That's what I'm going to try to do. I mean, my lawyer told me, "Do not call the cops. Do not call the cops. Do not call." >> Well, yeah. I mean, don't don't call the cops if the cops aren't needed. Now, if we're needed, call us. They're here to protect and serve. That's why it's why we took the oath. That's why we went to training for it. It's what we love to do. Okay. So, if you have anything, give us a call. You're you're good to go. Back over there. >> I I would say one more thing, and you know, it it's just kindergarten stuff. And this, but this is on videotape, and I've shown it to my lawyer. When we first u settled in mediation court, they had some uh items back there that they needed to get. And he he come back there to the fence in his truck. And I I told him as kindly as I could, and I was recording it. Now, maybe that makes people upset, but I wanted it recorded. And I said, "Jeff, you can come back here and get the stuff. Come back here. Do you need to come back here?" And he says, "No, because if I do, I'll be arrested for trespassing." And I said, "No, you won't." I said, "You're welcome." So, now >> that's on him at that point. I mean, you told him. Um, but there also needs to be And the way that the mediation is, like, as long as he's not trespassed, um, I I don't know how y'all trespassing is, if y'all have each other trespassed or I wouldn't I wouldn't do it. If he's back there, >> you know, I wouldn't I wouldn't charge him with trespassing because I wouldn't, you know, I would like to have a a friend next door, not an enemy. >> Of course. No, I understand. Um, but hey, look, I'm not trying to cut a store. I'm the only deputy on that's uh available right now cuz everyone is tied up. >> So, there's nothing here for me to continue being here for. >> Yes, sir. >> So, like it seems like y'all have calmed down. There's no >> There's his niece there. I mean, his daughter, my niece. There there's no need for me to make a remorse. There's nothing here. Whenever I showed up, y'all were just having an argument. That's it. It wasn't even >> Well, I didn't have an argument with him. I I called about All I did was call him about the dogs. >> Of course. So, >> he calls his daughter and they make up all these things and say, "I'm a terrible nasty person. They want to search my house. They want to search my property." >> Who Who wants to search? >> He does. You don't have to. >> He was telling him to go down there and look at all this nasty stuff and bones. >> You don't have to. >> You're welcome to come down there, but you know, I would rather I'm not allowing you to do it because he said it. But if you want to come down and hang out, >> I have no need to. >> You can. >> So, you're good to go, boss. All right. So, go have a good try to keep your distance. Okay. Yes, sir.
