No details yet but darn, your property is 'open' to trespassers now? Have to call LE to remove them?

You would think that a guy who owned a ranch would also own a backhoe.

i think that le prefer you call them to deal with trespasserswhich is fine with me because if i have to call le to deal with the problem it's pretty much a guarantee that I'll be pressing criminal charges.iwon't ask a trespasser more than once to leave my property

Sometimes just because you can doesn't mean you should. He was put in a tough spot. This will be interesting

Backhoe works but the 16" auger is much quicker and more efficient, vertical storage vs horizonal.

Your right. I missed that.

Good for the rancher. Needs to be repeated about 5000 more times and I guarantee they stop coming.

100% not guilty. Every single invader should be shot

 

[popsgarland]

At the court house.

Your honor, I saw this person trespassing on my property. I approached him and asked him what was he doing on my property. He told me to mind my own business and he would do whatever he wanted. I then told him that he was on privet property ans he has to leave the same way her entered. When I told him he had yo leave, he then said he would do whatever he wanted and charged at me screaming he was going take away my gun and shoot me with it. I feared for my live and my only option was to shoot him.

trespassers mak for excellent fertilizer or hog feed!

Not sure what Arizona law says about trespassers and your right to defend your property. Since I am a Texan, anyone from Arizona can chime and enlighten us would be appreciated. My property is posted (I have a few acres) and I spoke with my county sheriff and he told me if I shot someone to be sure to drag the body onto my property and let them know the trespasser was alive or dead. They have to run code if the person is still alive and would prefer not to run lights/sirens. I would also say I am a geezer and was afraid for my life but not sure how this goes down in Arizona.

The illegal put himself and the land owner in that position. It’s too bad it had to come to that, but hopefully word will get out and maybe even discourage some of the less brave invaders from coming over.

In another one of the many, many consequences of Biden's disastrous border policy, a 73-year-old rancher from Arizona is being held for $1 million bail as he awaits trial for the killing of a trespasser who happened to be an illegal immigrant.

Guy kept his mouth shut and got a lawyer... Kinda makes an investigation difficult and a conviction even harder.

Fucked up....

"The rancher reportedly asked for leniency from Velasquez during his court appearance as, without him home, his wife would be left alone and there was no one else who could care for her and their land. "She's there by herself … nobody to take care of her, the livestock. Or the ranch. And I'm not going anywhere," he argued. "I can't come up with a million dollars. Is there… Would you consider reducing it to any degree?"
