My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arkansas
I have a deeded easement through my neighbor's property. For 2 years, we have been in a dispute about the easement, the road, etc. For the past year, this neighbor and their guests have been harassing us, trying to block us from the easement, destroying the road we must drive on to make it difficult or impossible to leave our property.
They set up security cameras along the road, and they regularly hide in the bushes with guns and video tape us as we drive by, they hire scary people to stand by the road and glare at us. There have been verbal threats, but we did not press charges at the time.
There are gates we must open and shut to exit the property. They set traps to harass us, such as luring their livestock to the gates so they escape when my family tries to drive through and leaving gates open and then calling the police and saying we left them open.
They are even weakening parts of the road, such as a cattle guard we must drive across, so it will collapse in the near future. They say we can't repair it or it's criminal trespassing.
The problem is this is all happening on the neighbor's property (as far as I know), so the police say they aren't technically doing anything wrong. But how can this behavior be legal?
What can I do to stop this and protect my family? I have spoken to the police, the county judge, several lawyers, the prosecutor's office... nobody has any answers and nobody can agree about who I need to speak to or what the crimes even are.
I've been told by lawyers there is nothing I can do until I get arrested wrongfully, and then I can sue. Is this correct? There's no way to prevent it from getting this far?
