Q: How do i prevent someone from coming onto my property when they have been verbally instructed not to but still do.
There has been physical altercation between the individual and one of the residents as well. Despite numerous times of being told to not come onto our property or into our home the individual has continued to do so. It is the boyfriend of one of our children. Neither are residents.
This is not a criminal law issue or question.

Q: What's the statue of limitations?
I went to a grocery store in 2013 and they accused me of stealing some pens but they just said to leave and to never come back which I didn't until today so can the company still file charges even though it's been so long?
It depends on the value of the pens. Most misdemeanor statutes of limitations are two years, and most felony statutes of limitations are four. It seem the easiest solution would be to not go back to that store......

The cops never searched him when they got the call. They only called him. He is currently in prison for this. They have no prof/evidence there was ever a gun. Just by word of mouth.
If he is in prison he must have admitted guilt or been found guilty. You need an appellate attorney.
