What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Hello all,
Let me start with some background. I live in a apartment complex that is gated. There are no available visitor parking spots in our complex. However, there is a man that comes to visit his brother (His brother lives in our complex), around once a week. He repeatedly parks in other people's spots, and they subsequently have nowhere to park because he is uncaring about the rules of the complex. I've asked him several times to park outside, or to park in his brother's assigned parking space, because his brother does not have a car. He refuses or says, "Bitch, mind your own business", or something to that effect.
The last time he came, he parked in somebody else's spot, and I mentioned to him that it was somebody else's spot, he says "I know", and I said that visitor's are suppose to park outside the gate and come in. He ignores me and goes to his brother's apartment. While he is inside, I type out a very nice letter to him, asking him to please respect the rules of the complex, and think of others when you park in somebody else's spot. I also note that I have always been very kind and patient with his brother (who suffers from a mental disability) when I had interactions with him, and I understand that must be hard, but to please refrain from breaking the simple rules.
I walk outside to put it on his vehicle, in hopes of him reading it and starting to obey the rules. However, he is already in his car with his brother, and I walk up to his vehicle, and try to hand him the letter. He again says, "Mind your own ****ing business, bitch", and starts to drive away as I'm trying to hand him the letter.
This is where it gets complicated, he tries to speed off as I am tying to (admittedly) forcefully hand him the letter. I am not touching him, or saying anything, just putting it in front of him to take. He tries to speed off as I am doing this, and my hand bumps his lip.
He gets out of his car saying that I assaulted him, and of course, luckily for me, his lip is bleeding.
He calls the police telling me that I assaulted him, as I say that I was only trying to hand him the letter. He's extremely irritated, so at that point, I walk up to my apartment and leave him alone.
My question, does he have a case against me? He is an extremely rude and bitter man, and I have little doubt he would refrain from pressing charges on me if he could. What do I do, and how should I handle the situation?
Thanks very much for any help.
