Sorry guys I need some advice on dealing with HOA's. About 45 min ago I woke up to my dogs flipping out as I was sleeping due to quitting my previous job and taking a contract one that provides me to do 3rd shift work which sucks working nights but it's AWESOME PAY. So I know that guys that work nights sleep through the day like myself but you tend to let a few things go that the normal 9-5 crew can get done, unfortunately, I let the grass slip because of working nights, taking care of two dogs, grocery shopping when I can, cooking, laundry, helping both my parents and grandma with stage 2 cancer I'm burnt out. So fast forward I get a notice from the HOA about the grass and bushes, fine I got a guy to take care of everything. Again this afternoon some old bitch is riding her bike taking pictures of everyone's house but decides park her bike in my driveway and proceeds to open my gate (aka trespass) and starts taking pics of my backyard, needless to say my dogs hear everything and flip out, I open the garage and catch her in my yard and confront her. She tells me she's the wife of HOA President and has full access to my property in which I laughed and we got into a disagreement which led me to taking her phone away and snapping it in half in a bit of rage. I also took her bike and threw it into the street again explaining she's trespassing and can not go any further than the parkway as it's my property. She was fueled and said I would be talking to her husband and lawyer.

My question is how kinda screwed am I? I also caught her on my phone and left it recording in my pocket getting voice.

Post the video you took!

It's all voice, and before I post anything I want to see if a cop shows up on my porch first. I don't want to throw it on youtube and get an injustice of any sorts. I called my lawyer and waiting to hear back.

I would read the HOA agreement very carefully.
They have changed companies three times now but I hold personal property. The new one starts at the first of the year but I followed up and with the notice but walking on personal property is questionable, right?

That depends on the exact wording of the HOA. I doubt it says the wife of an official of the HOA can do what she wants to.

That's why I'm waiting to hear from my lawyer before posting anything. I never pushed or grabbed her, I just have a quick grab after helping raise a baby and know how to snatch objects like a parent. She slapped me but I'm a not a crybaby but it's on voice recording of me telling her to stop touching me until I snapped the phone in half

She opened a closed gate. Don't worry about this. Being married to the sheriff doesn't make you a deputy. You too can press charges if she didn't leave when you requested.
She didn't close anything, she stormed off, I closed and zipped tied my locks on both doors

Well well well guess who showed up... local PD, the HOA President and the bitch. Basically Local PD said I was wrong for taking her phone and snapping in and she was wrong aside from HOA documentation she cannot advance the property without law enforcement present a total board member. The president said he was very sorry and the PD turned their head to the phone snap, the one cop said I was in my jurisdiction being that she trespassed.
