It seems So Skinny. Bizarre. Only heard of citizen's arrest in movies and now AL deer. If I block someone in their driveway in FL for something like you describe with an elderly lady on an evening walk, I'd be the one in trouble for impeding her right to move freely. Certainly no judge would sign a warrant. This was why I made point of asking for clarification of what I didn't understand about AL law. Whole thing is strange.
