Transcript of statement written by Ariana Marshall August 7th 2020. This is when she encountered the then unknown Deputy Steve Austin.

I saw somebody driving down the dirt road very slowly looking up into our yard. He pulled up into Normans driveway, not all the way, stayed at the bottom of his driveway and looked around. He then backed out of the driveway and drove toward the direction of the bridge, then he stopped before our driveway and backed up & in front of Norman’s house, continued looking around. Then he proceeded to drive down the road in the direction of the bridge, stopped on the dirt road in between our house and the abandoned house next door. He got out of his vehicle, walked to the driveway of the abandoned house still in the dirt road, and took pictures in the direction of our house. Aimed his camera a few ways, then returned to his vehicle. Then he backed his vehicle again. He stopped in front of Norman’s house got out of his vehicle and stood behind his vehicle taking pictures in the direction of our backyard. He then walked over to the edge of our property line, in between our yard and Norman’s yard and took pictures of the road in front of our house. Then he put his camera in his back seat and left.
