What an idiot!
I live in the country, and an uninvited “guest” showed up at the gate one night looking for a ride back to the truck stop. I called the sheriff to come get the guy, as he was way odd acting. They offered that they were busy on a domestic dispute elsewhere in the county and it would be 45 minutes to an hour, IF they could make it.
So I told the guy to get walking and don’t show up at my gate again.
He got the message.
Seriously, there is no depending on police or sheriff for help when you live in the country. Drug cartel highway right through the center of our county, so We always have access to our own protection.
When seconds count, the law may show up, or may not.

I would have just given him 3 choices ... walk now, limp away if you give me lip or bleed out, showing back up at my gate always = choice #3
TT
I have very little leeway in my old age ... if he chose #3 the Sheriff would make the time, taking time from stuff he really needed or wanted to do... then I would be in debt to the Sheriff... bad situation all around.
