It is a simple story; a big landowner wants 10 acres adjacent. Some ten years ago, Mike Fine and his wife Sherry visited the Davis family to pitch the sale. They own eighty acres.
Gary Davis was with his 90-year-old mother as the couple pressured Mrs. Davis to sell her beloved homestead. The land in question is north of I-44, west of Lynn Lane, with a residential area and the Cherokee Hard Rock Casino directly east of the property across Lynn Lane.
“We weren’t interested in selling,” Davis said. “The Fines, soon after, started construction of two ponds along the shared edge of their land that deliberately and continuously flooded my family’s property to the point of washing out the only historic bridge allowing access. Now, their entire eighty acres drains downhill on us.”
