Clarksdale, MS asked in Estate Planning, Family Law, Probate and Criminal Law for Tennessee

Q: My step son gave my horse away, I had been given me a pair of Belgian mares to me for Christmas. Can I get him for horse

theft. My husband sent numerous emails to people that he knew telling them about this. With a picture of me and the horses. During and after my husbands death, the step son has repeatedly sold off everything left to me in the will. He has since given my horse to someone else. I had tried moving her somewhere else, but he found her and brought her back. After threating the person that had her for me. I have had him turn my power off to my house , try to evict me, and him and his family have constantly harassed me. I need some help, can I have him arrested for horse theft? He had also at one time put a tracker on my truck!

A: You need to file a police report for the theft of your horse and the tracking device he put on your vehicle. Tell the cops everything he has done to harass you. You may get a restraining order. He may go to jail.
