Desperate to regain control of the situation, she pulled out her own phone and furiously dialed 911. She shrieked to the dispatcher that a "trespasser" was harassing her on an auction site and demanding immediate police assistance.
When the local sheriff's deputies arrived with their lights flashing, they didn't find a trespasser. They found a calm rancher leaning against his wooden fence, holding the original deed to the 47 acres, and a crystal-clear video of an attempted real estate fraud.
The officers quickly reviewed the documents and the footage. The verdict was immediate. The HOA woman was ordered to take down her fraudulent auction sign immediately under threat of arrest for trespassing and extortion.
