Superior man confronts pipeline crew, arrested for trespassing on his own land
By Associated Press

SUPERIOR, Wis. (AP) — A northwestern Wisconsin man who confronted a work crew building a pipeline across his land is arrested for trespassing on his own property.

Jeremy Engelking of Superior is expected to appear in Douglas County Circuit Court Friday.

The 27-year-old Engelking told workers Wednesday they had no right to be on his property because he hadn't been compensated by the pipeline builder, Enbridge Energy Partners, for an easement.

A Douglas County sheriff's deputy arrived on the scene as the confrontation continued. Engelking says the deputy drew his Taser gun and ordered him to the ground. Engelking was handcuffed, taken to jail and later posted bond.

The confrontation is the latest episode in a long-running dispute between Enbridge, Engelking and his father, who owns property next door.

Jeremy Engelking will appear in Douglas County court this afternoon to face a trespassing charge. But here’s the kicker: The Superior man allegedly trespassed on his own property.
Engelking, 27, aimed to hunt deer Wednesday morning when he noticed a pipeline crew on his land. He hopped on his ATV and told workers they had no right to be on his property because he had received no compensation from Enbridge Energy Partners L.P. for an easement.
Engelking said workers told him he was in an unsafe place and asked him to come to an equipment staging area, where he continued to argue his case.
But just as he was turning to leave, Engelking said an officer from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department arrived on the scene and approached with a Taser drawn.
“He ordered me to ‘get down on the ground now!’ And he said that I was being arrested for trespassing,” Engelking said.
When Engelking protested, pointing out that he was on his own property, he said Sgt. Robert Smith told him: “It doesn’t matter. You’re going to jail. You can tell it to a judge tomorrow.”
Engelking offered no resistance, but Smith placed him in handcuffs then transported him to the Douglas County Jail. After posting a $200 bail bond, Engelking was released that afternoon. He also had to pay about another $100 to recover his impounded ATV.

AHhh, read this story last week.

I get the distinct impression we don't have the full story.

Yeah, the family has been feuding with the pipeline co. because they want to make an addendum to the easement. The family will not accept the changes, nor payment to modify their land use rights. (They do have that right) and these people used some legal loophole to arrest him for interfering with their work.

The easement the family accepts was signed in 1949, and they are unwilling to lose rights to their property.

Marshal law is coming. You just wait and see. More and more bull shit like this is just conformation.

[joshh]

It's your property till there's money to be made. In which case they can do what they want with your land.
I mean geez they TRIED to pay them. Or maybe they just don't want pipes running through their land.

The cop was obviously told top arrest the guy if he caused any problems. Absolute bullshit.

[Farbin Kaiber]

This kind of stuff, along with the excessive use of eminent domain for profits are going to remove the right to your own land.

[accident]

what a bunch of bullshit.

[Miasma]

Wow... Sickening.
