[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5503212, member: 19900"] You have a legal right to quiet enjoyment of your property. You can actually sue them for this. BUT....... Step 1. call the Sheriff to document the issue and mention the Deputy's conversation. Ask for a welfare check AND a report on what they find out. Dude might be crazy, a tweaker, manufacturing meth, have warrants......??? Step 2. Call the county health department about the no septic system issue. Ask if there is a permit for a septic system on property. I believe that there are some limits on how long you can "camp" on your property without septic system or other approved waste control. (this is eventually what got the "off gridder tweaker camp" shut down near us. Step 3. Document and record each incident. Send a copy to the Sherriff each time it goes on. This will provide a paper trail and some incentive to take corrective action. IF something went sideways later, you have a record of all the times this dude went ballistic, how often it was reported to the police, and how often you asked for help. ALWAYS express your concerns for everyones safety and that you are in fear of this unstable person, will they please check up on him. NEVER threaten, or imply taking anything into your own hands. We had a similar situation about a mile from our home. Dude with drug and mental problems moved onto undeveloped land he inherited. First living in a tent, then built a pallet house. (shack). Then another tent showed up, then a non working van. Thefts, drug parties, aggressive behavior towards neighbors, random gunfire, dogs being shot.... Sherriff got tired of going out as the camp people didn't care about being arrested, hid the perps, and were out the next day if they did get arrested. Locals got pissed, talked to the states atty, got the health department and that is what really got the ball rolling. Sherriff still didn't do much, but the environmental department hammered them with fines for no septic. That eventually got most of the tents cleared away.
