So, some strangers come into your house uninvited...

...and start messing around with things. You're alone, so you pick up your axe and walk outside to talk to them about the situation.

What happens?

Well, if you've been living there for 16 years, never caused any trouble, the cops and the town and most of the people in the town (including me) knew you and even liked you -- you will go to jail for "criminal threatening", your animals will be confiscated, your property such as it is will be condemned, and the people who know all about what's Good for You will talk about getting you Help.

Thanks for going to Nam for us, Peter. Really appreciate your trouble.

Goddammit.

WATERVILLE -- A familiar figure about town who has squatted on land off College Avenue for 16 years with a variety of animals has been arrested and charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon.

Peter Michaud, 59, is scheduled to remain in the Kennebec County jail in Augusta at least until Monday, when he is to appear before a Waterville District Court judge to have his bail amount reviewed. Bail was set Friday at $1,000 cash.
