Claire Priddy hasn't added a story.
I am a professional in the field of Education, a community builder, friend and good neighbor. I am involved in the Independent Homeschool community, serve on our Water association board of directors, and teach mindfulness and local yoga classes for Special needs individuals. I bought a home in a nice quiet neighborhood which seemed like the perfect place to live, walk dogs, ride horses, garden, and get to know my neighbors. Unfortunately, the past 2 years have been incredibly difficult due to some personal losses and increased risk to my safety stemming from one of my neighbors.
My neighbor, who moved with his family, to my neighborhood 2 years ago, has been arrested many times and has a long history of stalking, harboring loaded and stolen weapons, sales and consumption of meth, Gang related activity, and child endangerment. He was arrested on these same charges in 2014 while living 2 streets below me in the same neighborhood. Then, two years ago he became a tenant in the house across the street from me.
At first he made an effort to be a good neighbor--saying “Hello” and helping out in the community. After a few months he became increasingly paranoid, defensive and angry. He became disgruntled and angry with me and other members of the local water association when he couldn’t get his way and then he set out with clear malicious intent to destroy my reputation and my livelihood by repeatedly harassing, stalking and threatening me.
During the last year and a half he:
- Used gun hand signals to shoot at me.
- Threatened my life.
- Watched/stalked me in person and with video surveillance. These videos came up during this process and in court showing me on my property. He made it known in some of the videos that he knows when I leave my property, change my clothes and shower.
- Drive so close to me when I walk my dogs that I have to jump in a ditch to get away. This caused me to fall and get hurt.
- Stated he wished I would die from a surgery I had last year.
- Threatened to hurt me and those who I serve on the board of directors with.
- Yells obscenities at me and others.
- When I asked him to keep his dogs quieter or stop shining lights at my house, he was aggressive and threatened to “get me and take me down”
In May I was served with a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), from him, stating that I harass and stalk him. He used it to harass me by getting in my way and then calling the local sheriff saying I violated the TRO. He used the TRO as a tool to further harass me and to try and get me arrested.
From all of this my vigilance increased. I endured fear, anxiety, loss of sleep ,and nightmares. At one point I felt I had to leave town because I was scared of being watched and stalked by him. It is creepy to know someone is watching me all the time and I do not know what he is capable of. I have fear of being shot dead by him.
Right away my attorney found out his background and had me serve him with a TRO so I am protected. He avoided service for almost a month. We finally used a Private Investigator to serve him with the legal paperwork.
Why I need help:
After 6 months and 3 court continuances I finally won my TRO against my neighbor and the judge ruled against his TRO. I now have a Restraining Order against my neighbor for the next 18 months. This is very good news!
And, if that is not enough I have to deal with a corrupt Sheriff Commander, who sided with my neighbor, accusing me of lying. Then he lied about the situation in an official court document! Please help me obtain Justice, Peace and Safety!
Good News: My attorney and I have filed a complaint with Internal affairs at the Local Sheriff's office against the Sheriff's Commander!
The issue, at hand, is that I can not afford to pay the legal fees associated with the legal process of fighting against my neighbor’s TRO against me as well as pursuing a TRO against him. I took out a loan which is now maxed out, I have use up my savings, my credit card is maxed out and there is till a balance owed to my attorney. I am in quite a bit of debt now and I am not able to pay my bills.
How you can help:
Please help me pay my legal fees! I do not have the funds to cover the accumulated costs.
**Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any support you can offer, it means the world to me.
