Jeff,
From my experience in such matters, which is more than I care to get into, it is a difficult type of case to make, as it's mostly the "he said" type stuff. Without proof, who can the police believe? Just make sure in your dealings with the police that you are always the calm reasonable one and never fabricate or exaggerate your story when relaying to the police. Also, when talking to the police be friendly, casual, smile and try to show a little humor. Respond to aggravation and frustration by the police with good natured pleasantries and humor. Remember they get this crap (not crap to the victim) constantly. Do have a good video camera. Had your wife remained away from your last confrontation and just recorded, it would have helped a lot. Videos don't always accurately reflect the truth but most people think they do. When you start putting supplies or equipment on the site you should consider a couple of the game (as in hunting) cameras you can now get at a reasonable price. They can be concealed (depending on location) and record when triggered by motion. Neither the State or Feds will be interested in this type of incident.
