1
00:00:06,367 --> 00:00:09,834
[narrator] In
affluent neighborhoods,
status is everything.
2
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:11,000
Hey, there, Belinda.
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,333
Nice to meet you.
4
00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:16,667
My parents dreamed
to just be able to retire
in a beautiful home.
5
00:00:16,667 --> 00:00:20,500
[narrator] But what happens,
when a neighbor looks
to ruin your reputation?
6
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:23,800
Hey!
7
00:00:24,567 --> 00:00:25,967
She was talking about us.
8
00:00:25,967 --> 00:00:27,100
[overlapping shouting]
9
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,867
It was very, very volatile
between these two families.
10
00:00:30,867 --> 00:00:32,500
Drive carefully, peasant!
11
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:34,367
It got that petty.
12
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:36,066
[narrator] And even worse...
13
00:00:36,066 --> 00:00:38,100
attempts to take your home.
14
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:40,834
-There will be consequences.
-Is that a threat?
15
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:41,767
[sirens wailing]
16
00:00:41,767 --> 00:00:43,767
[man] The Haggerty's
American dream
17
00:00:43,767 --> 00:00:46,266
became a nightmare
once the Tuckers
came into their world.
18
00:00:46,266 --> 00:00:47,800
Drop your weapons!
19
00:00:48,867 --> 00:00:50,367
I'll kill this bitch!
20
00:00:50,367 --> 00:00:51,467
[gunshots]
21
00:00:51,467 --> 00:00:53,233
[woman] We just moved.
22
00:00:54,266 --> 00:00:55,367
-[yelling]
-[loud thud]
23
00:00:55,367 --> 00:00:56,567
[man] I know what you did.
24
00:00:56,567 --> 00:00:57,433
[gunshot]
25
00:00:57,433 --> 00:00:58,867
[woman] Stay out
of my neighborhood!
26
00:00:58,867 --> 00:00:59,867
[man] Stay away from my block!
27
00:00:59,867 --> 00:01:01,634
What about now?
28
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:03,533
-[sirens wailing]
-[woman screaming]
29
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,634
[gunshot]
30
00:01:13,066 --> 00:01:14,567
[narrator] The city
of Lancaster
31
00:01:14,567 --> 00:01:17,533
is a shining beacon
in the Lone Star State.
32
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,834
It's a beautiful community.
33
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:23,333
Beautiful area
of Southern Dalla.
34
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,667
[narrator] It's a place full
of hardworking professionals,
35
00:01:25,667 --> 00:01:27,500
who care
for their neighborhoods.
36
00:01:29,667 --> 00:01:31,433
And within Lancaster,
37
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:33,266
is nestled
the Pleasant Run Estates.
38
00:01:33,266 --> 00:01:35,266
[Harris] It's
an affluent community.
39
00:01:35,266 --> 00:01:38,600
Most of the homeowners
are business owners,
professionals.
40
00:01:42,467 --> 00:01:44,967
[narrator] For Belinda Tucker,
and her husband, Anthony,
41
00:01:44,967 --> 00:01:47,467
a former
manufacturing supervisor,
42
00:01:47,467 --> 00:01:49,967
their residence here
is heaven on earth.
43
00:01:49,967 --> 00:01:50,867
Here you go, babes.
44
00:01:50,867 --> 00:01:53,066
My husband got to retire.
45
00:01:53,066 --> 00:01:55,033
Because the company moved,
46
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:56,634
so they just bought him out.
47
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,867
[Taffeta] My parents,
they were very hard-working.
48
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:02,100
Very successful.
49
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,634
They dreamed of being
in a beautiful home,
50
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:07,900
to just be able to retire.
51
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,567
You know what,
let's do breakfast
after coffees.
52
00:02:11,567 --> 00:02:12,967
Sounds good to me.
53
00:02:12,967 --> 00:02:16,634
Our home
was absolutely fabulous.
54
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:19,500
And it, vastly, became known
as Tucker Lot.
55
00:02:22,266 --> 00:02:25,333
[narrator] Life couldn't be
better for the young retirees.
56
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,834
They settle into
new routines, quickly.
57
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,066
[narrator] And the Tuckers
aren't the only couple
new to the community.
58
00:02:34,066 --> 00:02:36,634
Ken and Sharita Haggerty.
Beautiful couple, man.
59
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:39,867
They are hard-working,
simple people.
60
00:02:39,867 --> 00:02:42,100
[narrator] Ken,
an entrepreneur,
61
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:44,100
has worked hard
to achieve his dream
62
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,433
of owning his own home.
63
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:49,367
Ken Haggerty,
he's one of the most
humble people.
64
00:02:49,367 --> 00:02:50,567
He's a self-made man.
65
00:02:50,567 --> 00:02:53,100
Master electrician.
Has his own
electrician company.
66
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,033
His name and reputation
is very good
67
00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:57,967
here, in Texas, period.
68
00:02:57,967 --> 00:03:00,066
[narrator] Sherita
organizes charity events.
69
00:03:00,066 --> 00:03:01,967
through their local church.
70
00:03:01,967 --> 00:03:04,900
Ken and Sherita have been
pillars of their community.
71
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,233
[narrator] The Tucker
and Haggerty couples
haven't met yet.
72
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,934
But Belinda and Sherita
soon cross paths
73
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,834
when they both joined
a local ladies' walking group.
74
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:17,467
You know what?
You should meet the new girl.
75
00:03:17,467 --> 00:03:18,367
Belinda.
76
00:03:18,367 --> 00:03:19,967
I was a social butterfly.
77
00:03:19,967 --> 00:03:23,834
I would go walking
with some of the ladies
in the community.
78
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:26,000
Meet Sherita.
She's also new
in the neighborhood.
79
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,166
Hey, there, Belinda.
80
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:28,367
Oh, nice to meet you.
81
00:03:28,367 --> 00:03:30,100
How are you liking
Pleasant Run?
82
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,667
I love it.
83
00:03:31,667 --> 00:03:33,934
Everyone's so nice here.
84
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,433
And my mom just can
make friends very easily.
85
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:40,467
[narrator] The two women
seemed to hit it off.
86
00:03:40,467 --> 00:03:41,934
And when the bonding begins,
87
00:03:42,266 --> 00:03:43,567
so does the gossip.
88
00:03:43,567 --> 00:03:45,767
But I've gotta say
there is this one place--
89
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:48,333
-No.
-Oh. No? Go on.
90
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,066
A little neighborly gossip
never hurts anybody.
91
00:03:51,066 --> 00:03:52,734
And then she's
got calling them,
92
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,367
"Those people got money.
They do this,
and they do that."
93
00:03:55,367 --> 00:03:57,667
There's this one place
across the street from us.
94
00:03:57,667 --> 00:04:00,100
Gotta say, it's a bit gaudy.
95
00:04:00,166 --> 00:04:01,233
Hello, ladies. Come on.
96
00:04:01,767 --> 00:04:03,533
The decorations
are a bit much.
97
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,133
Landscaping's over the top.
98
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,467
-Total eyesore.
-[chuckles]
99
00:04:06,467 --> 00:04:08,166
Oh, honey, I know the type.
100
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:10,033
Bad decor
can really ruin the view.
101
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:11,166
You said it, sister.
102
00:04:11,166 --> 00:04:13,266
And the curtains? [scoffs]
103
00:04:13,266 --> 00:04:16,433
Huh. Some people
just have the worst taste.
104
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,433
[narrator]
It seems the two women
will become fast friends.
105
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,166
But good first impressions
don't always last.
106
00:04:24,166 --> 00:04:25,667
Go to work, peasant.
107
00:04:25,667 --> 00:04:26,934
Is that a threat?
108
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,400
[gunshot]
109
00:04:29,567 --> 00:04:33,400
Anyway, this is me.
Very nice
meeting you, Belinda.
110
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,667
-She's so nice.
-Yeah, she is.
111
00:04:36,667 --> 00:04:38,667
-All right, this is me.
-All right, take care.
112
00:04:38,667 --> 00:04:40,033
-Bye.
-See you.
113
00:04:44,166 --> 00:04:46,634
[narrator] When
the new companions
end their walk,
114
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:49,767
they discover that they live
right across the street
from each other.
115
00:04:49,767 --> 00:04:52,667
"That's my house."
Your mouth just drop open.
116
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:55,667
I was like, "Oh, my gosh."
117
00:04:55,667 --> 00:04:58,734
[narrator] Sherita Haggerty
has been badmouthing
Tucker's Lot
118
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,600
right to Belinda's face.
119
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,400
I'm like,
"Who are these people?"
120
00:05:16,667 --> 00:05:20,567
I knew right away,
these are not
the kind of people
121
00:05:20,567 --> 00:05:22,500
that I want
to be friends with.
122
00:05:26,166 --> 00:05:28,266
[Anthony] Hey, hon.
How was your walk?
123
00:05:28,266 --> 00:05:31,300
I met one of the new neighbors
from across the street.
124
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,166
She insulted our home.
125
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:34,467
Called it gaudy.
126
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:37,333
[Belinda] I liked to decorate.
127
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,367
And maybe that's
something that Sherita
hadn't seen before...
128
00:05:42,367 --> 00:05:45,367
Come on, babe.
Maybe there's some sort
of misunderstanding.
129
00:05:45,367 --> 00:05:47,834
No, baby.
She was talking about us.
130
00:05:48,066 --> 00:05:49,333
Look at me!
131
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,333
Tucker's Lot. About us!
132
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,834
It would seem
people are talking about you
133
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:57,000
right across
the street from you.
134
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,166
[narrator]
Sherita returns home,
135
00:06:01,166 --> 00:06:04,667
and confesses
her social faux pas
to husband, Ken.
136
00:06:04,667 --> 00:06:08,100
I made a big mistake.
I cannot believe I did this.
137
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:09,100
What do you mean?
138
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,567
I was badmouthing
the decor across the street
139
00:06:11,567 --> 00:06:13,100
to the woman
who owned the house.
140
00:06:15,567 --> 00:06:16,800
Okay.
141
00:06:17,867 --> 00:06:19,100
Next time you see her,
142
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:20,834
ask for forgiveness.
143
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:27,567
[narrator] But Belinda
is not in a forgiving mood.
144
00:06:27,567 --> 00:06:31,266
She contends her home
is the crown jewel
of the neighborhood.
145
00:06:31,266 --> 00:06:33,367
Honey, look at the place.
146
00:06:33,367 --> 00:06:35,367
It's a model home.
147
00:06:35,367 --> 00:06:37,767
The Tuckers did have
a very beautiful home.
148
00:06:37,767 --> 00:06:40,133
It was a luxury home to me.
149
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,600
Why don't we have a coffee
and try to forget about it?
150
00:06:45,367 --> 00:06:48,100
Haggerty's. More like hags!
151
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:49,667
I'mma call 'em corner hags.
152
00:06:49,667 --> 00:06:51,533
-Hags!
-It's like...
153
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,867
Everything the hags saw
in me and my husband,
154
00:06:55,867 --> 00:06:58,066
was missing in them.
155
00:06:58,066 --> 00:07:01,467
The Haggerty's
wouldn't know taste
if it in bit 'em in the butt.
156
00:07:01,467 --> 00:07:05,700
Instead of admiration,
it created serious problems.
157
00:07:08,967 --> 00:07:10,300
[narrator] Time goes on.
158
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:13,800
And the Tuckers and Haggertys
keep each other
at a distance.
159
00:07:18,367 --> 00:07:21,066
Putting her
personal hurt aside,
160
00:07:21,066 --> 00:07:24,266
Belinda Tucker looks to revive
the Homeowners' Association,
161
00:07:24,266 --> 00:07:25,700
in Pleasant Run Estates,
162
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:29,000
for the purpose of raising
community beauty standards
up to her own.
163
00:07:29,967 --> 00:07:31,967
[Belinda] There were
no playgrounds.
164
00:07:31,967 --> 00:07:34,133
There was
no beautification projects.
165
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,967
There was absolutely nothing.
166
00:07:35,967 --> 00:07:37,200
"Let's fix it."
167
00:07:41,667 --> 00:07:44,266
[narrator] A Homeowners'
Association or HOA
168
00:07:44,266 --> 00:07:47,166
is an entity
that governs standards
for groups of homes,
169
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:49,066
such as suburban
neighborhoods.
170
00:07:49,066 --> 00:07:52,934
HOA set
what the perimeters are,
what the rules are.
171
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,667
The HOA makes sure
that someone
in the neighborhood
172
00:07:56,667 --> 00:07:58,934
is not bringing
people's property value down.
173
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,433
[narrator] And it can also
punish those who violate
its regulations.
174
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,634
You got three weeds
in your flowed bed.
That' a fine.
175
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,133
You didn't cut your
grass this week.
That's a fine.
176
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,600
You know, I mean,
it could be anything.
177
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,467
[narrator] A robust HOA
means everything to Belinda.
178
00:08:13,467 --> 00:08:16,500
And she knows
the perfect candidate
to lead it.
179
00:08:17,166 --> 00:08:20,166
My husband decided
that yeah, he would run.
180
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:22,867
The community
had the election.
181
00:08:22,867 --> 00:08:25,834
My husband was
elected president.
182
00:08:29,367 --> 00:08:33,533
I think the end goal
for Belinda and Anthony
183
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,934
was to make
the community better.
184
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,166
To bring everyone together.
185
00:08:40,367 --> 00:08:42,667
[narrator] Yet,
not everyone
in Pleasant Run Estates
186
00:08:42,667 --> 00:08:45,367
is aware of the HOA revival.
187
00:08:45,367 --> 00:08:49,600
There's an invoice here
from a Homeowners'
Association.
188
00:08:50,467 --> 00:08:52,367
Must be a clerical error.
189
00:08:52,367 --> 00:08:54,467
The HOA disbanded
a while ago, remember?
190
00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:57,867
[Criss] When
Belinda and Anthony
started sending out
191
00:08:57,867 --> 00:09:01,367
the notices for the HOa
and the fees,
192
00:09:01,367 --> 00:09:03,500
there was a lot of confusion.
193
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,834
[narrator] HOA invoices
demand money from residents
194
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:09,834
to fund its many projects.
195
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,400
Neglecting payments
ha consequences.
196
00:09:13,266 --> 00:09:15,433
So, what do you want us
to do with it?
197
00:09:16,767 --> 00:09:18,100
Just ignore it, honey.
198
00:09:18,467 --> 00:09:19,700
Okay.
199
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,266
[sighs]
200
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:24,567
[Ken] Heavenly Father,
we praise you and thank you.
201
00:09:24,567 --> 00:09:26,433
Thank you
for this meal that...
202
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,233
[narrator] When Belinda
and Sherita next meet,
203
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:33,834
Sherita attempts
to make peace.
204
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:37,667
Belinda. I am so sorry
about what I said before.
205
00:09:37,667 --> 00:09:39,900
Your home is beautiful.
206
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:42,734
Let's just put
this whole thing behind us.
207
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,834
Oh, thank the Lord.
208
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:46,567
I've been a mess
about what I've done.
209
00:09:46,567 --> 00:09:48,634
[Belinda] I was
talking to Sherita.
210
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:50,533
And we have a good time.
211
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,734
Hey, did you
receive an invoice
from the HOA recently?
212
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,567
Oh. Oh, yes.
Anthony is the president
of the HOA.
213
00:09:57,567 --> 00:09:58,667
What?
214
00:09:58,667 --> 00:10:02,233
Then she wanted
to talk about the HOA.
215
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:05,166
There was never a notice
to revive the HOA.
216
00:10:05,166 --> 00:10:07,433
Oh. Well,
there was an election.
217
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:09,233
Maybe you missed the notice?
218
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:11,033
We didn't miss anything.
219
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:13,467
This doesn't
feel right, Belinda.
220
00:10:13,467 --> 00:10:15,934
I mean, the HOA
is here to stay
221
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,600
so, you have to pay.
222
00:10:18,867 --> 00:10:21,000
[scoffs]
223
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,333
[narrator] Sherita's attempt
to smooth things over
with Belinda, has failed.
224
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,767
[Belinda] The HOA was
the Empress Despot.
225
00:10:27,767 --> 00:10:31,233
The whole...everything.
226
00:10:34,867 --> 00:10:36,467
Hey, honey.
How was your walk?
227
00:10:36,467 --> 00:10:38,066
Belinda said
that the HOA is back
228
00:10:38,066 --> 00:10:39,934
and that we have
to pay the invoices.
229
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,567
People don't understand
the power that HOAs have
230
00:10:42,567 --> 00:10:46,533
over what they can do
if you don't pay those fees.
231
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,967
That's ridiculous.
232
00:10:47,967 --> 00:10:49,734
HOAs putting
liens on your home,
233
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,133
and potentially
taking your homes.
234
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,734
We didn't agree
to any of this.
235
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,367
I know!
236
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,867
[narrator] Battle lines
are being drawn
at Pleasant Run Estates.
237
00:10:59,867 --> 00:11:02,433
[Harris] The Haggertys'
American dream
238
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:05,133
became a nightmare
once the Tuckers
came into their world.
239
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,133
[narrator] And these neighbors
must prepare for war.
240
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,767
If you're gonna
compete with me,
241
00:11:09,767 --> 00:11:12,233
then I'll step my game up.
You know?
242
00:11:12,667 --> 00:11:13,834
[yelling]
243
00:11:23,467 --> 00:11:27,333
[Belinda] The Haggertys
weren't paying HOA invoices,
244
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,934
along with several others.
245
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,433
Everybody
was non-compliant.
246
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:34,166
There were several
notices sent out.
247
00:11:34,166 --> 00:11:36,867
All kind
of friendly reminders.
248
00:11:36,867 --> 00:11:40,567
[narrator] After months
of some neighbors
ignoring the HOAs demands...
249
00:11:40,567 --> 00:11:42,533
[knock on door]
250
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,300
Belinda decides
to confront them
face to face.
251
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:51,467
Hi. How are you folks
doing today?
252
00:11:51,467 --> 00:11:54,800
Hello, Belinda.
We're doing very well,
thank you.
253
00:11:55,567 --> 00:11:57,100
What can we do for you?
254
00:11:57,767 --> 00:12:00,200
You need to pay
your HOA fees.
255
00:12:01,867 --> 00:12:04,166
Listen, Belinda.
The HOA was disbanded.
256
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:07,000
And we didn't vote
to have it reinstated.
257
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,233
I'm trying
to explain to people
258
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:12,667
that are committed
to misunderstanding.
259
00:12:12,667 --> 00:12:15,634
But we'll prefer to have
everybody resolve
their payments
260
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:17,467
the best way they can.
261
00:12:17,467 --> 00:12:20,000
And with Anthony
being the president
of the HOA,
262
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,967
we can work with you on that.
263
00:12:21,967 --> 00:12:24,266
We don't feel the need
to pay these invoices,
264
00:12:24,266 --> 00:12:27,000
especially since
we didn't vote in the matter.
265
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,667
Well, you'll have to pay
or there'll be consequences.
266
00:12:29,667 --> 00:12:31,233
-Is that a threat?
-[sighs]
267
00:12:32,367 --> 00:12:34,133
Get off our property.
268
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,533
We're not paying one red cent.
269
00:12:37,266 --> 00:12:39,934
I think everyone tries
to respect your neighbor.
270
00:12:42,367 --> 00:12:45,567
But they never thought
that it would escalate
to something like it did.
271
00:12:45,567 --> 00:12:49,467
Belinda the the type
that likes to prove herself
to people.
272
00:12:49,467 --> 00:12:52,133
If somebody did look at her
in a negative light,
273
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,767
she would wanna know why.
274
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:56,367
[narrator] The Haggertys
believe they are
being extorted
275
00:12:56,367 --> 00:12:59,433
and defrauded
by the revived HOA.
276
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:01,166
Before going
into battle with Belinda,
277
00:13:01,166 --> 00:13:05,066
they seek to recruit
others in the neighborhood
to their side.
278
00:13:05,066 --> 00:13:09,367
The Haggertys were, probably,
one of the biggest voices
against the HOA.
279
00:13:09,367 --> 00:13:11,934
These invoices
just keep piling up.
280
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,667
Ours too.
But we shouldn't give in
to their demands.
281
00:13:15,667 --> 00:13:19,667
Ken and Sherita,
their neighbors were
leaning on them for help.
282
00:13:19,667 --> 00:13:22,634
Because they were leading
the fight against the Tuckers.
283
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:24,367
We need to for a united front.
284
00:13:24,367 --> 00:13:26,266
Yeah, we didn't agree to this.
285
00:13:26,266 --> 00:13:28,433
And even if we did,
we wouldn't have voted.
286
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:32,000
[Sherita] You're right.
This is ridiculous.
You're right.
287
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,233
I'm gonna go over there
and talk to her.
This has gone too far.
288
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:37,367
[Harris] When you
are in control
of these HOAs,
289
00:13:37,367 --> 00:13:39,433
having power
over that community,
290
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:41,767
and potentially taking
these people's homes.
291
00:13:41,767 --> 00:13:45,233
This was a huge concern
that the Haggertys had.
292
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:54,834
Hello, Sherita.
293
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:58,166
Belinda, please stop
sending the neighborhood
these invoices.
294
00:13:58,166 --> 00:14:00,467
I don't understand
what the problem is.
295
00:14:00,467 --> 00:14:03,567
Do you not want
you neighborhood,
your home, to look beautiful?
296
00:14:03,567 --> 00:14:07,634
-Belinda...
-I just have everyone's
best interest in mind.
297
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:09,567
Do you wanna live
in an ugly neighborhood?
298
00:14:09,567 --> 00:14:11,533
You're wasting your time.
299
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,200
Stop sending these invoices.
300
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,567
[narrator] Convinced,
the revived HOA is a sham,
301
00:14:28,567 --> 00:14:30,233
the Haggertys
search for evidence
302
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:32,634
to conclusively
prove their position.
303
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:35,000
Ken, come take a look at this.
304
00:14:36,967 --> 00:14:41,400
Pleasant Run Estates
doesn't even have and HOA
listed on the city's website.
305
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,367
Unbelievable.
306
00:14:46,367 --> 00:14:48,834
[Harris] Once Ken
and Sherita did investigate,
307
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:50,200
they felt that this was fraud.
308
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,567
It's a fact that
the Homeowners' Association
was discontinued.
309
00:14:54,567 --> 00:14:56,166
[narrator] During
their investigation,
310
00:14:56,166 --> 00:14:58,767
the Haggertys
also discovered
that the neighborhood
311
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:01,867
already pay service fees
to a city-run organization.
312
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:04,367
We pay into a PID.
313
00:15:04,367 --> 00:15:06,166
[narrator] A Public
Improvement District.
314
00:15:06,166 --> 00:15:08,266
Known and a P-I-D or PID.
315
00:15:08,266 --> 00:15:11,000
covers much
of the same ground
as an HOA.
316
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,467
But is administered
by the city.
317
00:15:13,467 --> 00:15:17,300
If you pay your mortgage,
you automatically pay
into the PID.
318
00:15:18,367 --> 00:15:20,333
If you wanted
to build a park
319
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,100
or if you wanted streetlights,
320
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,266
or speedbumps
in the neighborhood,
321
00:15:24,266 --> 00:15:27,367
those are the type of things
that a PID is for.
322
00:15:27,367 --> 00:15:30,734
The HOA is charging us fees
we've already paid.
323
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,934
This is crazy.
324
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,166
[narrator] But
the biggest bomb
is yet to drop.
325
00:15:36,166 --> 00:15:41,500
[scoffs] Guess who owns
the company managing
the HOAs financials?
326
00:15:42,166 --> 00:15:43,634
Belinda.
327
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:46,433
I had a management company.
And it was easy.
328
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:49,767
When it got time
to manage
Pleasant Run Estates,
329
00:15:49,767 --> 00:15:53,233
my husband had
to recuse himself.
He couldn't vote.
330
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:56,000
You know, to have
my company to run it.
331
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,133
But the other
board members could.
332
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:58,900
And they did.
333
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:01,233
I was managing
the community.
334
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:04,166
That fraud.
335
00:16:04,166 --> 00:16:07,567
When they found out
that it was my
management company,
336
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:10,100
then they started saying
it was fraudulent.
337
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:12,266
We have to tell everybody.
338
00:16:12,266 --> 00:16:15,867
[Harris] Why is the
Homeowners' Association
President's wife
339
00:16:15,867 --> 00:16:18,867
issuing all these fees,
making money off of him?
340
00:16:18,867 --> 00:16:21,033
Being the president
of the association,
341
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,867
they felt they were
being extorted.
342
00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:27,533
[narrator] Allegations
spread like wildfire
around the neighborhood.
343
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:32,867
-I'm not paying either.
It's crazy.
-Completely crazy.
344
00:16:32,867 --> 00:16:36,433
Haggertys, yeah.
They did definitely
lead the charge.
345
00:16:37,867 --> 00:16:40,567
It was all turned around
on her.
346
00:16:40,567 --> 00:16:44,066
As if she was trying to steal
and take from people.
347
00:16:44,066 --> 00:16:47,967
When, in actuality,
she is trying to give back
348
00:16:47,967 --> 00:16:49,767
to everyone, as a whole.
349
00:16:49,767 --> 00:16:52,233
It caused a big stir.
350
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:56,033
Fraud!
351
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:04,634
There had already
been so many lies
352
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:06,634
about me and my husband,
353
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:09,266
in the community.
354
00:17:09,266 --> 00:17:12,967
Saying that I'm
a crook and all of that...
You know, it hurt.
355
00:17:12,967 --> 00:17:14,634
Hags.
356
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,266
[narrator] Tempers flare
when Ken Haggerty violates
357
00:17:26,266 --> 00:17:28,600
the city's street parking
ordnances.
358
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:32,600
[Anthony] Oh, you know
he's gonna say something.
359
00:17:36,967 --> 00:17:41,066
[Harris] Starts out with
his electrical truck
being in the neighborhood.
360
00:17:41,066 --> 00:17:42,333
Call at the police.
361
00:17:45,767 --> 00:17:48,734
Hello. Yes, I'd like
to report a neighbor.
362
00:17:50,467 --> 00:17:52,100
Well, they weighed the truck.
363
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:54,467
Sorry. It's way overweight.
364
00:17:54,467 --> 00:17:56,634
The police were trying
to explain to him
365
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:59,433
that it weighed too much
to be parked there.
366
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:01,467
Over weight?
What is God's name--
367
00:18:01,467 --> 00:18:04,000
Move it in two days
or it's getting towed.
368
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,166
When you work all day,
like Ken works all day,
369
00:18:09,166 --> 00:18:11,533
and you have your business,
you can get
a little frustrated.
370
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:16,934
What the records will show
is that he moved the truck.
371
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,467
Just like the police
asked him to.
372
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,133
[narrator] But Belinda claims
Ken escalated the situation
373
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,800
to a whole new level.
374
00:18:27,166 --> 00:18:28,667
You screwing with my truck?
375
00:18:28,667 --> 00:18:31,367
It violates HOA codes.
My hands are tied.
376
00:18:31,367 --> 00:18:33,767
Being asked to remove it,
I think, it maybe
377
00:18:33,767 --> 00:18:35,033
irritated him.
378
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:37,934
He didn't want to
have to live by the rules
379
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,767
of the community.
380
00:18:39,767 --> 00:18:43,233
Keep screwing with my truck,
and we're gonna
have a problem.
381
00:18:43,567 --> 00:18:44,967
Bitch.
382
00:18:46,266 --> 00:18:48,667
[Belinda] He looks at us,
and he yelled obscenities.
383
00:18:48,667 --> 00:18:52,033
"You a bitch. You a bitch.
You gonna have problems."
384
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:54,200
I see you outside again,
385
00:18:54,567 --> 00:18:56,467
I'll send you to hell.
386
00:18:56,467 --> 00:19:00,467
Just give--
Belligerent, he did say
387
00:19:00,467 --> 00:19:02,166
that he was gonna
send me to hell.
388
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:04,467
I'mma send you to hell.
You hear that?
389
00:19:04,467 --> 00:19:05,967
I'll send you to hell!
390
00:19:05,967 --> 00:19:09,867
Mr. Haggerty, I believe,
did not make
those types of threats
391
00:19:09,867 --> 00:19:11,400
to her, or Mr. Tucker.
392
00:19:23,367 --> 00:19:26,166
[Harris] It was just,
you know, silly harassment.
393
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:28,967
The Tuckers, the Haggertys,
harassing each other.
394
00:19:28,967 --> 00:19:30,266
It's tensious.
395
00:19:30,266 --> 00:19:34,000
They didn't want
to keep going back and forth
with the neighbors.
396
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,967
[narrator]
According to Belinda,
397
00:19:34,967 --> 00:19:37,567
Ken steps up
his harassment
against her.
398
00:19:37,567 --> 00:19:40,066
-Hey, Belinda!
-I'm gonna call you back.
399
00:19:40,066 --> 00:19:42,266
If my truck is overweight,
400
00:19:42,266 --> 00:19:45,066
then your fat ass
needs to get off
the street too.
401
00:19:45,066 --> 00:19:49,000
[narrator] Whenever insults
fly, Belinda Tucker
is quick to pull out her phone
402
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,533
and record the Haggertys.
403
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,300
Fatty Fatass!
404
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:54,266
Fatty Fatass!
405
00:19:54,266 --> 00:19:55,467
fatty Fatass!
406
00:19:55,467 --> 00:19:59,567
If he see me walking,
he would stand out,
on the corner,
407
00:19:59,567 --> 00:20:02,567
and call me fatas--
"Look at you,
with that fat ass."
408
00:20:02,567 --> 00:20:05,734
So I'm like,
"Why are you looking
at my ass, first of all?"
409
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,033
Fatass!
410
00:20:09,367 --> 00:20:12,700
Mr. Haggerty
avidly denied saying that.
411
00:20:15,567 --> 00:20:16,900
[Anthony] What is he
yelling about now?
412
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:19,867
[narrator] Either way,
the spectacle
at Pleasant Run Estates
413
00:20:19,867 --> 00:20:22,066
keeps escalating.
414
00:20:22,066 --> 00:20:24,433
[loud gospel music playing]
415
00:20:31,066 --> 00:20:33,300
Hallelujah!
416
00:20:35,266 --> 00:20:36,634
Whoo!
417
00:20:41,266 --> 00:20:44,533
He started blasting
gospel music, like--
418
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,133
It's not even, like,
up-to-date.
419
00:20:47,767 --> 00:20:50,567
I understand
if you wanna play music
420
00:20:50,567 --> 00:20:54,667
but why do we hear it
way over here?
421
00:20:54,667 --> 00:20:56,834
That, even, was harassment.
422
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:00,266
[narrator]
On other occasions,
423
00:21:00,266 --> 00:21:03,300
the Haggertys are the ones
making noise complaints.
424
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:05,333
Cheers.
425
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,500
-To another beautiful--
-[engine revving]
426
00:21:08,467 --> 00:21:10,433
Whoo!
427
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:12,200
Listen to that kitty purr.
428
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:14,233
[Harris]
The motorcycle incident.
429
00:21:14,233 --> 00:21:17,266
The Haggertys feeling
that the Tuckers are,
purposefully,
430
00:21:17,266 --> 00:21:20,166
trying to antagonize
their evening
431
00:21:20,166 --> 00:21:22,266
by revving this motorcycle.
432
00:21:22,266 --> 00:21:24,433
This is a beautiful machine.
433
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:27,133
Come on, this thing
is meant to be heard.
434
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,166
[engine revving]
435
00:21:30,166 --> 00:21:33,634
Motorcycles
are designed to be loud
436
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:35,200
so that they can be seen.
437
00:21:36,367 --> 00:21:37,867
[Harris] It was
just tit-for-tat.
438
00:21:37,867 --> 00:21:39,367
You're gonna complain
about my noise,
439
00:21:39,367 --> 00:21:41,033
I'm gonna complain
about your noise.
440
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,233
[narrator] Each family
riles up the other,
any chance they get.
441
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,867
[Harris] You gotta understand,
these people live
adjacent to each other.
442
00:21:51,867 --> 00:21:54,867
Two huge homes
that are right across
each other.
443
00:21:54,867 --> 00:21:58,166
Ken Haggerty stood up
to her liendom,
she didn't like that.
444
00:21:58,166 --> 00:22:00,467
[narrator] Yet, Belinda
is mostly now focused
445
00:22:00,467 --> 00:22:03,266
on her next
grand ambition.
446
00:22:03,266 --> 00:22:07,400
I decided to run for mayor
for the city of Lancaster.
447
00:22:10,567 --> 00:22:12,533
[Criss] We handed out flyers.
448
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,266
Telling everything
that she wanted to do
in the city.
449
00:22:15,266 --> 00:22:16,734
[knock on door]
450
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,266
Hi, there.
I'm running for mayor.
451
00:22:24,266 --> 00:22:26,066
And I wondered
if I can put
a sign on your lawn.
452
00:22:26,066 --> 00:22:28,033
Why do I keep
getting these invoices?
453
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:29,367
[Harris] She tormented them.
454
00:22:29,367 --> 00:22:31,133
She was raising
the community.
455
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,467
Other members
of that community
456
00:22:32,467 --> 00:22:34,867
felt that she was
trying to take their property.
457
00:22:34,867 --> 00:22:37,734
Well, you have
to pay your dues, sir,
or there'll be consequences.
458
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,900
They legally owed
and didn't want to pay.
459
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,033
[Criss] Some people
didn't wanna pay.
460
00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:46,567
I believe that divided
the community, as well.
461
00:22:46,567 --> 00:22:50,500
More people were siding
with the Haggertys
than the Tuckers.
462
00:23:00,567 --> 00:23:03,867
[Belinda] I ran my campaign on
463
00:23:03,867 --> 00:23:08,567
Honesty, Integrity
and Transparency.
464
00:23:08,567 --> 00:23:12,467
[narrator] Not everyone
is convinced
of Belinda's good intentions.
465
00:23:12,467 --> 00:23:15,367
The campaign
really didn't go very well.
466
00:23:15,367 --> 00:23:17,600
[thunder rumbling]
467
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,367
[Belinda] My signs
were being vandalized.
468
00:23:33,367 --> 00:23:35,734
My voice was being silenced.
469
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,634
A lot of people were saying,
"Well, it was just the wind."
470
00:23:40,166 --> 00:23:41,100
You could believe that
471
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:44,033
if the candidate's,
next to her sign,
472
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:45,166
was damaged as well.
473
00:23:45,166 --> 00:23:47,133
But it was literally
only her signs.
474
00:23:48,967 --> 00:23:52,967
[narrator] And her signs
aren't the only targets
of destruction.
475
00:23:52,967 --> 00:23:55,033
Look what I just got
in the mail.
476
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:58,266
I was like, "Hey,
do you know
this is going around?"
477
00:23:58,266 --> 00:24:01,333
[Belinda] There were
mailers that were going out,
478
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,333
about me and my husband,
479
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,367
trying to say
we were criminals.
480
00:24:05,367 --> 00:24:09,967
Stealing from out neighbors
and all of these
with the HOA fee.
481
00:24:09,967 --> 00:24:12,467
Just horrible,
horrible things.
482
00:24:12,467 --> 00:24:14,934
Do you have any idea
who could have written these?
483
00:24:15,567 --> 00:24:17,700
[thunder rumbling]
484
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,066
[Criss] She thinks
that it did come from people
in her neighborhood.
485
00:24:28,066 --> 00:24:30,233
Because of everything
that was going on.
486
00:24:30,867 --> 00:24:32,867
We have people
in the background,
487
00:24:32,867 --> 00:24:35,667
working to just
damage and sabotage
488
00:24:35,667 --> 00:24:38,533
not just me
and my run for mayor.
489
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,767
They wanted to set
an ulterior
490
00:24:42,767 --> 00:24:46,800
defining description
of who the Tuckers were.
491
00:24:49,467 --> 00:24:53,000
[narrator] Vicious libel
soon gives away
to potential violence.
492
00:24:54,367 --> 00:24:57,166
I work on a project
with a friend of mine.
493
00:24:57,166 --> 00:24:59,900
--How about tomorrow?
-Yeah, we can do it
in the morning.
494
00:25:00,967 --> 00:25:02,166
[yelling]
495
00:25:02,166 --> 00:25:04,500
We could see
a light shining.
496
00:25:06,567 --> 00:25:08,867
You had those lights
on weapons
497
00:25:08,867 --> 00:25:10,934
that it could have been a gun.
498
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,600
[both whimpering]
499
00:25:15,066 --> 00:25:16,567
Babe, what's wrong?
500
00:25:16,567 --> 00:25:18,700
Get down!
They've got a gun on us.
501
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,767
[Belinda] I'm telling Anthony
what's going on,
502
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,200
the light hits him.
503
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:27,934
[dialing 911]
504
00:25:29,166 --> 00:25:32,867
Please, hurry up!
Please come!
505
00:25:32,867 --> 00:25:35,734
[narrator]
Belinda calls the police,
who race to the scene.
506
00:25:36,667 --> 00:25:38,834
She immediately point out
her neighbor.
507
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:41,967
But Ken Haggerty
denies any involvement.
508
00:25:41,967 --> 00:25:48,233
The Tuckers made allegations
about Ken trying to
beam into their home.
509
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:51,233
There we so many allegations
over the years.
510
00:25:52,166 --> 00:25:53,367
[Belinda] The police
is telling me,
511
00:25:53,367 --> 00:25:55,467
"It's not illegal
to shine a light.
512
00:25:55,467 --> 00:25:58,133
"He's just being childish.
Just ignore it."
513
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,867
Officer, arrest him.
That's harassment.
514
00:26:02,867 --> 00:26:03,967
Sorry, ma'am.
515
00:26:03,967 --> 00:26:06,734
[Belinda]
I'm listening to them.
I'm like, "Wow."
516
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,500
So, that's not harassment
517
00:26:10,467 --> 00:26:13,867
The police
would not address it
or even investigate
518
00:26:13,867 --> 00:26:15,467
or do anything about it.
519
00:26:15,467 --> 00:26:17,834
[narrator] Authorities explain
that without evidence,
520
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:19,166
there's nothing they can do.
521
00:26:19,166 --> 00:26:23,000
So, Anthony decides
to take matters
into his own hands.
522
00:26:26,266 --> 00:26:27,767
There were concerns
523
00:26:27,767 --> 00:26:31,266
that Anthony was known
to carry a firearm.
524
00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:33,800
Here in Texas,
he is well within
his right to do that.
525
00:26:36,266 --> 00:26:39,634
[narrator] The Tuckers
even take measures
one step further.
526
00:26:42,567 --> 00:26:44,700
Make sure
it's facing this tree.
527
00:26:47,166 --> 00:26:49,867
We installed cameras
around our home.
528
00:26:49,867 --> 00:26:55,600
I know for a fact
that the Tuckers had cameras
on the Haggertys' home.
529
00:27:00,166 --> 00:27:01,634
What is he up to now?
530
00:27:06,567 --> 00:27:10,433
Of course,
everything we did,
they did.
531
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:14,634
Once we installed cameras,
they installed
cameras as well.
532
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,233
[narrator] Belinda's
security cameras
533
00:27:20,300 --> 00:27:22,900
soon captured
blood boiling infractions.
534
00:27:23,266 --> 00:27:24,700
[phone chimes]
535
00:27:26,567 --> 00:27:28,934
[Belinda] I believe,
Ken Haggerty's friend
536
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,200
parked his big truck
in front of our home.
537
00:27:36,867 --> 00:27:39,567
If he wanted to go
visit across the street,
538
00:27:39,567 --> 00:27:41,166
park your truck
across the street.
539
00:27:41,166 --> 00:27:43,100
[Harris] I think the Tuckers
were seriously upset
540
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:46,266
that they were parking
on their side of the street.
541
00:27:46,266 --> 00:27:48,834
You're harassing us
is what you're doing.
542
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:51,200
[narrator] Belinda
concocts a plan.
543
00:27:53,166 --> 00:27:55,300
So, I take the car.
544
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:01,166
I park in front of it,
as close as I could get,
545
00:28:01,166 --> 00:28:02,700
without hitting it.
546
00:28:04,266 --> 00:28:07,100
If you hit my car,
it's gonna be
a whole different issue.
547
00:28:17,266 --> 00:28:18,734
[camera clicks]
548
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,834
hello, officer.
549
00:28:24,834 --> 00:28:29,000
Yes, I'd like to report
a car parked in front
of my house.
550
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,300
Then I did call the police.
551
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,033
That's who crazy things got
between these two people.
552
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:40,667
To the extent where,
if the Hagerty company
needed to park
553
00:28:40,667 --> 00:28:44,233
on the other side,
like neighbors commonly do,
you know,
554
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:45,400
she'd report that
to the police.
555
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,367
I don't have to
go to work in the morning.
You do.
556
00:28:48,367 --> 00:28:52,634
Let's see you get out of here
without hitting my car.
557
00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:54,467
I'm not moving my cars.
558
00:28:54,467 --> 00:28:55,934
It got that petty.
559
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,467
[Belinda]
I left it like that
560
00:28:57,467 --> 00:28:59,834
and went to
my sister-in-law's house.
561
00:29:01,166 --> 00:29:03,100
[narrator]
When Belinda returns home,
562
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:06,433
she learns that
not everyone wants to
participate in her games.
563
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:10,634
The truck was gone
and my car is damaged.
564
00:29:13,667 --> 00:29:15,367
Hags!
565
00:29:15,367 --> 00:29:18,266
[narrator] The Tucker
and Haggerty families
find any excuse
566
00:29:18,266 --> 00:29:20,367
to antagonize each other...
567
00:29:20,367 --> 00:29:22,266
I'm gonna report your ass!
568
00:29:22,266 --> 00:29:26,133
...and things
are heating up. fast.
569
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,533
It was very, very alto
between these two families.
570
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,400
I'll see you in court!
571
00:29:41,266 --> 00:29:44,033
[Harris] Whether it was
the Haggertys complaining
on the Tuckers
572
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,266
or the Tuckers
complaining on the Haggertys,
573
00:29:46,266 --> 00:29:49,533
they had years and years
of each of them
calling the police,
574
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,934
You need to stop parking
your truck on the street.
575
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,100
You need to stop
harassing us.
576
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:55,367
And I think the police
were getting fed up with them.
577
00:29:55,367 --> 00:29:57,333
They were out there so much.
578
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,400
[overlapping shouting]
579
00:30:01,166 --> 00:30:02,567
[Belinda] Officer,
they're the villains here.
580
00:30:02,567 --> 00:30:04,634
They were out there
all the time.
581
00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:07,033
Both these families
had the police
on speed dial.
582
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:09,033
-You're a fraud.
-I'm a fraud?
583
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:11,867
[Harris] Each of the families
were trying
to get law enforcement
584
00:30:11,867 --> 00:30:14,233
to support their position
585
00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:16,467
that the other person
was the harasser.
586
00:30:16,467 --> 00:30:19,300
[overlapping shouting]
587
00:30:20,767 --> 00:30:22,834
The police
started referring to us
588
00:30:22,900 --> 00:30:25,033
ads the Hatfields
and the McCoys.
589
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:26,934
And that hurt.
590
00:30:28,667 --> 00:30:30,367
[narrator] As the feud
continues,
591
00:30:30,367 --> 00:30:32,634
Belinda loses
her bid for mayor.
592
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:36,333
I should have won.
I should have won!
593
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:42,667
[narrator] To make
matters worse,
594
00:30:42,667 --> 00:30:45,166
some Pleasant Run residents
launched a legal action
595
00:30:45,166 --> 00:30:46,634
against the Tuckers.
596
00:30:46,634 --> 00:30:49,567
[Harris] Oh, years and years
of the Tuckers going
to court, fighting
597
00:30:49,567 --> 00:30:53,166
on whether or not
this was a legitimate HOA.
598
00:30:53,166 --> 00:30:57,233
[Belinda] As time progresses,
we want to resolve this.
599
00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:00,667
But it could result
in liens being placed
on your property,
600
00:31:00,667 --> 00:31:02,667
if you don't pay.
601
00:31:02,667 --> 00:31:05,634
[Harris] According
to the people
in that community,
602
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:07,867
they would fraudulently
extort them
603
00:31:07,867 --> 00:31:09,367
and place liens
on their homes.
604
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:12,133
Which placed many other people
in the community
605
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,233
appear that they could
potentially lose their homes.
606
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:18,667
[narrator] Still,
the nexus of most of the ire
607
00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:21,266
remains between
the Tuckers
and the Haggertys.
608
00:31:21,266 --> 00:31:24,834
Bottom line is,
Ken's worked his butt off
all his life
609
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:27,467
to build a business
and get a home.
610
00:31:27,467 --> 00:31:29,667
Now you got somebody
threatening to take his home.
611
00:31:29,667 --> 00:31:31,266
He took that
very, very serious.
612
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:33,166
[narrator] Anthony Tucker
is determined to protect
613
00:31:33,166 --> 00:31:36,066
his property, and wife
at all costs.
614
00:31:36,066 --> 00:31:39,000
As far as this little battle
that they had going on,
615
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,800
tension really hadn't
died down.
616
00:31:42,867 --> 00:31:45,166
[narrator] The neighbors
eventually moved their war
617
00:31:45,166 --> 00:31:47,433
from the street
to the courthouse.
618
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:50,767
We filed that we wanted
a protective order
619
00:31:50,767 --> 00:31:52,667
to keep them away from us
620
00:31:52,667 --> 00:31:54,600
because now we know
it is that serious
621
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,667
We went to civil court.
622
00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:01,066
We let 'em know
what was going on.
623
00:32:01,066 --> 00:32:04,667
Combined, it was 92 claims.
624
00:32:04,667 --> 00:32:06,367
[Harris] Almost every
Justice of the Peace,
625
00:32:06,367 --> 00:32:09,166
Judge Nash, Judge Jones,
Judge Campbell,
626
00:32:09,166 --> 00:32:12,600
they were all familiar
with the Tuckers
and Haggertys.
627
00:32:20,367 --> 00:32:22,667
The tension is building
year after year.
628
00:32:22,667 --> 00:32:24,333
Court hearing
after court hearing.
629
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,533
[Belinda] It's been so much
going back and forth,
630
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,033
nothing ever panned out.
Nothing.
631
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:33,367
But we did not prevail
in getting
that protective order.
632
00:32:33,367 --> 00:32:36,734
Nice try trying to get
the courts to kick us out.
633
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,967
Drive carefully, peasant.
634
00:32:38,967 --> 00:32:42,967
[Harris] A judge would be
reluctant to grant
a protective order.
635
00:32:42,967 --> 00:32:47,166
He's basically telling
one of the parties,
"If I grant this order,
636
00:32:47,166 --> 00:32:48,900
"the other party's gonna
have to move."
637
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,934
[narrator] The bad blood
between the Tuckers
and Haggertys
638
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,700
has reached
its tipping point.
639
00:33:07,667 --> 00:33:10,767
This had better not be
another invoice.
640
00:33:10,767 --> 00:33:13,033
[narrator] And
the unpaid HOA dues
641
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:15,533
pushed Belinda to play
her ultimate card.
642
00:33:16,367 --> 00:33:19,233
It got to that point
where liens had to be placed.
643
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,133
Wait, Ken. Look at this.
644
00:33:26,867 --> 00:33:28,834
We have to pay $1,400?
645
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:30,567
Or this crazy woman
will take our home?
646
00:33:30,567 --> 00:33:31,800
What are we gonna do?
647
00:33:34,567 --> 00:33:38,033
You pay your mortgage,
you pay your home off,
648
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:39,767
and she's constantly
threatening,
649
00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:41,834
"I'm gonna
take your property."
650
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:43,767
[Belinda] After they put
a lien on your house,
651
00:33:43,767 --> 00:33:47,834
the Association can
rightfully come
and take the property.
652
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:49,066
There's a cumulation
involved though.
653
00:33:49,066 --> 00:33:50,767
The wild threats in the past.
654
00:33:50,767 --> 00:33:52,867
Ken took her at her word.
655
00:33:52,867 --> 00:33:55,533
He believed that she
was trying to take his home.
656
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,333
That's what led him
to the point
657
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,100
where he felt
he had to do something
to defend his property.
658
00:34:00,166 --> 00:34:01,800
And to defend his family.
659
00:34:07,467 --> 00:34:08,967
[siren blaring]
660
00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:10,367
Drop your weapons!
661
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:25,033
It was a very, very chaotic,
crazy-crazy Sunday morning
662
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:29,100
that should not have
ever, ever happened
in Lancaster, Texas.
663
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,767
You have to tell me
that new recipe.
664
00:34:37,767 --> 00:34:42,934
-It's so easy.
-Oh, it taste, like, so good!
665
00:34:43,567 --> 00:34:44,834
[narrator] Belinda
and her friend
666
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:46,700
are heading out
to run errands.
667
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,200
But Ken Haggerty
has other plans.
668
00:35:01,667 --> 00:35:04,867
Ken firmly believed
that she was trying
to take his property,
669
00:35:04,867 --> 00:35:07,700
and going to harm his family
in doing so.
670
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,533
[Belinda] I smiled at him.
671
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,233
And that set him off.
672
00:35:14,867 --> 00:35:17,700
I was attacked.
I was ambushed.
673
00:35:18,567 --> 00:35:20,900
In the middle of the street.
674
00:35:22,467 --> 00:35:24,634
I had my phone
in my hand,
675
00:35:24,700 --> 00:35:26,600
'cause we just think
he's crazy.
676
00:35:31,767 --> 00:35:33,467
[friend] He has a gun!
677
00:35:33,467 --> 00:35:35,867
[Belinda] When she said that
I stopped the phone.
678
00:35:35,867 --> 00:35:37,700
-[Ken] You put a lien
on my home?
-[women screaming]
679
00:35:39,567 --> 00:35:41,433
Please don't!
680
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:43,133
-Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
-[screaming]
681
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,667
[engine revving]
682
00:35:47,967 --> 00:35:51,567
Ken approached the car,
and then hears
the car revving...
683
00:35:51,567 --> 00:35:52,867
That car's a deadly weapon.
684
00:35:52,867 --> 00:35:55,266
And if he felt
that she was gonna
run over him,
685
00:35:55,266 --> 00:35:56,867
then he's entitled
to defend himself.
686
00:35:56,867 --> 00:35:59,433
-[women screaming]
-[gunshots]
687
00:36:02,166 --> 00:36:03,400
[Anthony] Hey!
688
00:36:08,767 --> 00:36:10,600
You killed my wife!
689
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,800
Stop shooting
or I'll kill her!
690
00:36:21,767 --> 00:36:23,233
[grunts]
691
00:36:25,367 --> 00:36:27,233
I'll kill this bitch!
692
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:29,867
Ken only has five shots,
693
00:36:29,867 --> 00:36:32,467
so he's pinned
on the side of that car.
694
00:36:32,467 --> 00:36:34,400
[siren blaring]
695
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,500
Drop your weapons!
696
00:36:38,066 --> 00:36:39,667
Hands up!
697
00:36:49,867 --> 00:36:53,100
[Harris] Police could have
easily have killed
both these guys.
698
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:55,567
So, Lancaster Police
did an exceptional job
699
00:36:55,567 --> 00:36:57,767
of containing, you know,
this incident.
700
00:36:57,767 --> 00:37:00,100
This could have been
way uglier.
701
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:02,266
[narrator] After
subduing the shooter,
702
00:37:02,266 --> 00:37:05,600
EMTs quickly attend
to Belinda's injuries.
703
00:37:06,667 --> 00:37:10,066
[Belinda] I got shot
twice in my head.
704
00:37:10,066 --> 00:37:13,967
I've lost fingers.
I got shot in my arm.
705
00:37:13,967 --> 00:37:17,233
How mad
must you have been
706
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:22,634
that a simple smile
would reduce you
to commit murder?
707
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,834
I am being loaded
into the back of an ambulance.
708
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:31,433
And I can see them
walking my husband
in handcuffs.
709
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:35,400
[narrator] Anthony Tucker
faces no charges.
710
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:40,033
Ken Haggerty
doesn't get off so easily.
711
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:41,934
[Belinda] They charge,
you know, Haggerty,
712
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,333
with aggravated assault
instead of attempted murder.
713
00:37:47,166 --> 00:37:49,533
That's attempted murder
all day.
714
00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:54,467
He was given
$100,000 bail.
715
00:37:54,467 --> 00:37:57,634
he was out
the very next day.
716
00:37:57,700 --> 00:38:01,667
The day after the shooting,
Belinda comes home
from the hospital.
717
00:38:01,667 --> 00:38:04,634
No-one actually got
shot in the head.
It was, like, abrasions.
718
00:38:04,700 --> 00:38:06,166
I'm not minimizing,
but I'm just saying.
719
00:38:06,166 --> 00:38:09,567
There were abrasions
to her head.
720
00:38:09,567 --> 00:38:12,867
[narrator] Ken may be
the only one held responsible
for the shooting.
721
00:38:12,867 --> 00:38:16,066
but the Tuckers
don't get away scot-free.
722
00:38:16,066 --> 00:38:18,166
[Harris] The Tuckers
end up getting charged
723
00:38:18,166 --> 00:38:22,000
where the allegation
is that she defrauded
another gentleman
724
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,600
out of his homes.
725
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,700
He had accumulated
a little over million dollars'
worth of rental properties.
726
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:30,667
And miraculously,
727
00:38:30,667 --> 00:38:33,634
those properties end up
being transferred
728
00:38:33,700 --> 00:38:35,934
to Ms. Tucker.
729
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,600
With documents
that she notarized herself,
according to record.
730
00:38:40,967 --> 00:38:44,767
Now you got someone
who actually had
their property stolen,
731
00:38:44,767 --> 00:38:47,734
the same fear
that Mr. Haggerty had.
732
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,467
We've been telling you
for a year.
733
00:38:49,467 --> 00:38:52,233
that she was involved
in this type of activity.
734
00:38:52,300 --> 00:38:55,567
I don't even have a problem
being under investigation
735
00:38:55,567 --> 00:38:57,266
if you want to investigate me.
736
00:38:57,266 --> 00:38:59,500
Open arms, investigate me.
737
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:10,867
[narrator] Based on
all these circumstances,
738
00:39:10,867 --> 00:39:13,400
the courts are merciful
with Ken Haggerty.
739
00:39:15,266 --> 00:39:18,333
[Harris] For anyone
who says, "Wow, how did
he only get probation?"
740
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,767
I do believe that he acted
in self defense.
741
00:39:20,767 --> 00:39:22,934
Defense of his property
and defense of his family.
742
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,033
Given the totality
of all the torment,
year after year.
743
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:30,166
[narrator] During
the investigation
against Belinda and Anthony,
744
00:39:30,166 --> 00:39:33,033
they move away
from their beloved
Tucker's Lot.
745
00:39:33,100 --> 00:39:34,967
[Harris] It's kinda crazy
that now,
746
00:39:34,967 --> 00:39:36,767
the Tuckers are
no longer in their home.
747
00:39:36,767 --> 00:39:38,467
You know,
but the Haggerty's are there.
748
00:39:38,467 --> 00:39:42,533
Belinda, having to face
the possibility
of going to prison,
749
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,867
because of all the charges
that she has on her.
750
00:39:44,867 --> 00:39:48,934
I didn't wanna sell my home.
I loved my home.
751
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,567
But I love my husband
and it was killing him
752
00:39:52,567 --> 00:39:55,767
to have to live
across the street
753
00:39:55,767 --> 00:39:58,934
from the man
that tried to kill his wife.
754
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,800
[sobbing]
755
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:03,767
[narrator] Ken
and Sherita Haggerty
756
00:40:03,767 --> 00:40:08,066
are eager to leave
this terrible episode
of their life, behind.
757
00:40:08,066 --> 00:40:11,767
I believe that Ken
will be successful
on the probation that he has
758
00:40:11,767 --> 00:40:15,533
and show everyone
that not only has he
paid his debt to society
759
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,734
but that
this particular incident
that happened
760
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,300
was an anomaly.
761
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,767
[narrator] In 2022,
762
00:40:21,767 --> 00:40:24,266
Anthony Tucker
passes away in his sleep.
763
00:40:24,266 --> 00:40:27,433
The stress of it all,
it weighed very heavy.
764
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:31,266
and I think that
it killed him.
765
00:40:31,266 --> 00:40:33,133
I can't say that for sure.
766
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,934
But I think
it does play a role in it.
767
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:39,567
[Belinda] He was
a legend in love
768
00:40:39,567 --> 00:40:42,333
and he lived well.
769
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,133
And he died well.
770
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,500
Because he was so peaceful.
771
00:40:49,367 --> 00:40:52,100
[narrator] Belinda denies
all claims against her,
772
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:54,300
but they have
yet to be resolved.
773
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,867
[Harris] Now,
Sherita and Ken
774
00:40:57,867 --> 00:41:01,734
and the other neighbors
can enjoy their homes
775
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,033
without fear that the Tuckers
are gonna try
and take it from them.
776
00:41:10,066 --> 00:41:12,100
[narrator] Next time
on Fear Thy Neighbor...
777
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:16,233
That was kinda like
oil and water, they don't mix.
778
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:20,133
They heard this "pop pop,"
and they opened the door...
779
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,266
-I have had enough!
-You show no respect.
780
00:41:22,266 --> 00:41:25,166
[woman] I was like, oh, my gosh,
would someone really shoot me
781
00:41:25,166 --> 00:41:26,734
over something like this?
782
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:27,734
Better get to running.
783
00:41:27,734 --> 00:41:29,967
[woman] Stay with us, please.
I love you.
