Interesting story. The comments on the story are equally as interesting.
"Merry Teesdale · Bellingham, Washington
It was upsetting to have a very noisy helicopter circling me, my house, helpers, for hours, upsetting my cows and all of us for hours, and to have big men in uniforms and tracking dogs running around my land most of the day. A lot of the time, the helicopter wasn't looking where the guy was supposed to be. Then, even though they caught the guy the day before, the next day, Saturday, a Border Patrol guy was in my woods with a rifle without permission. The same officer came back again today with the rifle in the front seat, driving up the road. I caught him and asked him to leave.
Here's the thing. No one ever really saw a gun. No gun has been recovered. I thought one had to commit a crime or at least have probable cause to be arrested."

I live on Hoff road, nobody informed me to stay inside. When I asked the border patrol officer about it, he gave me a response, that they were obviously not looking for me."

Nope, nothing said to me either - I drove right by two of them standing next to a patrol car sitting at the RR crossing at Country Lane, and they didn't even say anything, just waved me on."

And that response you got from them was pretty unprofessional."

I know Leah Linscott Travers was upset about it too. It's pretty scary"
