The house and land was already bought by Larry English. The owner lived in a house trailer and a boat docked in the back yard and river. It was private property and the house was being constructed. Coming onto the property was trespassing and being in there at night was misdemeanor prowling. The owner had a right to shoot him for invading his property. Larry English said in his deposition that about $2,500 of electronic equipment, as well as a Yeti cooler, was taken out of his docked boat sometime in 2019.

Charge 1 for assault with a deadly weapon. An hes literally admitting he had no idea what happened outside. He just saw the neighbor point an just went after him with no knowledge of the situation. Heres what you need to do a citizens arrest in GA at that time. A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his PRESENCE or within his IMMEDIATE KNOWLEDGE. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion. 1. Trespassing is a misdemeanor 2. He didnt actually see it ( his & Gregs own words not mine ) so they didnt even meet the standard needed to make a citizens arrest. 3. Greg admitted to saying to Arbery " Stop or ill blow your fkn head off. " At that point it becomes a threat to Arbery an he has every right to defend himself.
