We live in Alabama (out in the country) and we have a very dangerous man living 50 yards away from us. In November of 2007, I saw him SHOOT a rifle twice at my husband...luckily not hitting him. I called the Sherrif's dept. and we had him arrested. (he was back home a few hours later).
After a couple of months, we had court. He was found guilty of "Reckless Endangerment" with a gun, his gun permit was taken away and the judge told him not to fire any guns from his property for 1 YEAR. After court the neighbor appealed it. 3 days later he was shooting again. I called the Sherrif's dept, they came and said there was nothing they could do...because he appealed it!!
We were supposed to go back to court a couple of times over the last 2 years, but it keeps getting put off because they say that there are more important cases than ours.
This crazy man hides behind sheds in his back yard and shoots his shotguns and rifles over our home. When he shoots the shotgun, I can hear the shot hitting the metal roof on our carport. He does most of the shooting when he knows my husband isn't home...Just to terrorize me!! We have been constantly harassed by this man and have filed complaints/reports on him, but the Sherrif's dept. says there is nothing they can do unless it is caught on video tape.
I would appreciate any advice or information on what can be done.
