He said-she said situation at a local RV park

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – A couple claims to be the target of bullying by some neighbors at Shady Acres Manufactured Home and RV Community. However, the neighbors say otherwise.
Katherine and Bruce Farr said everything was going good during their stay at Shady Acres, until Katherine became sick and they began to get behind on rent.
They say that is when things became more hostile, and during one confrontation, Katherine was punched in the face.
However, the accused neighbor, David Waleen, firmly denies hitting Katherine.
“I got gout. I can’t use my right arm I couldn’t straighten out my left arm, I got it in hips and everything I was just in pain,” said Waleen.
While Waleen was arrested for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, there no was complaint filed for the latter.
Katherine says she is still shaken by the incident.
“I’m a nervous wreck. I don’t sleep I don’t go outside the trailer very often. I don’t talk to anybody…I feel like I’m getting watched and stared down everywhere I go even driving down the street,” said Katherine.
Her husband Bruce said he’d like to see a better solution.
“We want it stopped. We want them fired. Whatever needs to happen, this Western Management Company needs to get rid of these people, get them out of the park, and they need to bring in another management company. The owners of this park need to step up,” said Bruce.
However, multiple neighbors do not agree with the Farrs.
Just over a week later, Bruce was arrested for trespassing on neighbor Cindy Cheslak’s property.
“I didn’t know if he was back there trying to steal things. I didn’t know if he was the electric company, I didn’t know what he was doing back there,” continued Cheslak. “He was not apologetic, he screamed and hollered at me, telling me I don’t know anything. I was the previous manager, and that’s why I’m not the manager because I don’t know anything.”
