The neighbor from hell
grass valley, nevada county, california
We are having a lot of problems with our neighbor. He is a drug addict and I suspect insane . He is growing "legal" marajuana in his back yard, and selling it. We also suspect that he is selling Meth as well. He constantly has coming and going traffic, and loud drunken parties, where they shoot off firearms. This has been ongoing for years, and until about a year ago we ignored it. Since then, things have gone sour. He has made threats to physically harm my family, friends, and pets. He has harrassed us to the point of insanity. We have called the cops on him several times, and nothing has been done. We have no home owners association, and don't know where else to turn. He has many of the other neighbors afraid to complain about him, due to his violence. We have tried to file a restraining order, but the judge said "be nieighborly, and work it out amongst yourselves." We recieved a mediation order that he has since violated. But the police never do anyting about him. He has a police scanner and listens to when they will be coming out to pay him a visit, so he can hide all the illegal stuff. His NID (nevada county irrigation district) pipe runs through our property. I don't believe that there is an easment. Is it within my legal rights to remove the pipe? What can be done about the firearms? What can be done about the drugs? What can be done about the harrassment? My family and I are at our wits end. This once peacful neighborhood has turned into a war zone. PLEASE HELP!!
There are other neighbors that have issues with this man, but they are not his main target and are not willing to step forward due to fear of him causing the same problems with them. One of the neighbors has contacted the FBI, due to the lack of action taken by the sheriff's dept. His mother owns the property, and he has a record for drug trafficing in Nevada and possibly in California as well. He is in his 30's, unable to hold a job, and pretty much thinks he is untouchable. I have been trying to keep a journal on the threats, commments, and activities that I have observed, and the traffic coming and going form his property. Should I get a surveilence camera and mic? Is that legal to survey the borders of my property on to his, or is that invasion of privacy?
