I am not sure that I would rely on an underpaid county employee for legal advice* - get a second opinion (Strangler Lewis has some good info that can be trusted). Whoever pays should be covered for these types of incidents by their homeowners insurance (assuming that it covers something that happens off of their property).
Also, I would think that filing a police report would be a good idea (if they will take it - I am not sure).
* This is not meant as a dig on county/government employees - just that this person, while he/she has exposure to this kind of situation that the average Joe doesn't, probably is not aware of all of the legal possibilities/ramifications.
