What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
We have lived across the street from a beautiful cranberry bog for more than 25 years. We met the owner 25 years ago, introduced our children to him and received his permission to walk around this breath taking area any time we wanted. To access this bog, we need to use a deeded easement (right of way) which we have done for more than 25 years. The property the easement is on has changed hands 4 times in all these years. The latest owner had the police greet my husband as he finished his walk with one of our dogs and told him he was trespassing and if he did it again, he would be arrested. The deed for the easement dates back to 1978 prior to this home being built with no specific wording as far as who can tell whom what to do.
Could my husband have been arrested?
Is this man out of his mind by bringing in 2 policemen for this and what would be the best way to stop this harrassment.
