At this point, the tenants hired an attorney to deny all charges, which delayed any further immediate action, allowing them time to cultivate their illegal crops and leaving Mr. Faris unable to proceed, since he couldn't afford an attorney. He did seek legal aid and did everything they instructed him to do. He made attempts to send the tenant notices to say he wished to enter the premises, but the tenant had put up an additional fence with a locked gate in front of the property and No Trespassing signs. Mr. Faris was told if he entered onto the premises he would be in violation of the law and could be sued for it. I think it's quite obvious that Cheng Yang knew exactly what he was doing to get his crop cultivated and marketed before any legal action could be taken against him. Lester Faris, on the other hand, was taking every lawful action he could in responding to the complaints filed against him from Butte County, and trying to evict the tenants, as advised by legal services. While this was all this was going on, Mr. Faris's wife contracted a viral flu and died 2 days after Christmas. His wife's children, (the beneficiaries of the house they were residing in at the time in Live Oak) gave him notice, and he had to move so they could sell the house. This left Mr. Faris with no place to live and no income other than Social Security. The only thing he had of any value was the property at 533 Crystal Ranch Rd, Feather Falls, CA. After the tenants finally left and he was allowed to go onto the premise, he found they had virtually destroyed his property. They left huge piles of garbage, and also threw trash all over the place. They put holes in his mobile home, destroyed most of the inside, and shot holes in his 2000 gallon water holding tank. They used a tractor to imake room for their crops and took no thought to, pushing over trees and destroying the landscape. The tenants flattened one of the outbuildings, and pushed over fences and tore gates off hinges. The pictures I have included will show a lot of the, damage and debris. The money that Mr. Faris made on the lease will not begin to cover the damage. This piece of property is all that Lester Faris has left. The only thing he can do now is clean up all the garbage and repair the damage that these "scumbags" left him with. He has already begun cleaning up some of the debris, but it is going to be a long process, and costly, and he is not a young man. I know that county rules and regulations have to be followed, and fines and penalties are put in place to discourage people from, wrongful actions, but in this case the criminals not only avoided the penalties, but made lots of money in the process. The only thing Mr. Faris did wrong was made a bad choice of people to lease to. Putting a lien against his property will accomplish nothing but force him to lose the only thing he owns, creating more of a hardship on him. I think he's paid enough already. Thanks for your consideration in this matter, ve and Joy Casner Enc photos r4 1i � r�� ' . � y r. �"+" �a5y ^k z k ar '� rI m"�, ✓z' u��� a '. m �, '� �� a � � �"a M1„� �Fk11"9"?X"�✓"""A �� ur � d ¢ 6 a e��J"�. r ✓� 'X�. k 5"t ✓r rcl �� � :ui � ,�I h� fa�,� ,amp � �� � .�¢!"�N+� a J"qaa rc � � �� yym�' z�;��C.zYggq�i�»� " e� �"�a �Waaircya1 z„�a„arAwX wi o"Y,w�wy�ai��ay Pl�,��'�'dy✓. i " i 1, p as ” � � �rz,, yh t e a4 � X� � * a�wr X �:� � . u �'�fr1�a �.•..
